Secondary school girls of the Federal Government Girls’ College (FGGC) Sagamu, Ogun State, have built an AI robot called Okikiola-Sagamu, otherwise known as ‘Kiki-Saggy’.
The project which involved 10 students and a few staff members was recently unveiled to the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education, David Adejo Andrew, in Abuja.
The students who were drawn from both junior and senior classes of the school, said the Robot stands at a height of 6 feet, weighs 60kg, and has a maximum speed of 10km per hour.
The AI robot (Kiki-Saggy) according to the students is capable of talking, walking, and even gesticulating.
The innovators explained that it took them seven months to complete the project, adding that they were able to harness the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning which they invested into the robot.
They said kiki-Saggy was their first “successful trial” as there had been previous trials which had taken place before now, noting that most of the previous robots could not make it to the final stage like Kiki did.
