At a voting place in Puducherry, a lifelike robot named Nila greeted voters. This was an example of cutting edge technology being used in the Assembly elections, while PM Modi encouraged people, especially young people and women, to cast their ballots.
On Thursday, voters at the VOC Government School voting station in Puducherry were met by a lifelike robot named “Nila” dressed in a saree. This added a technological touch to the Union Territory’s current Assembly elections.
From Weddings to Elections- Multi-Purpose Robot
The robot was made to be an event-based engaging machine that was used to greet and help people as they came to exercise their right to vote.
Kaushik from Robo Mirror talked about the new idea and said that the robot is made to be used in a variety of public places.
A lifelike robot called Nila, dressed in a traditional saree, met voters at the VOC Government School voting station in Puducherry on Thursday. Nila added a high-tech touch to the Union Territory’s current Assembly elections.
“This machine is named Nila.” It’s an event-based robot that can be used for things like parties, work, and voting. It was from Coimbatore that we got her. Nila has many features, one of which is a voice function that lets her talk on her own. People close can hear her words and commands can be set ahead of time. “She’s here to greet voters,” Kaushik told ANI.
People were very interested in the robot when they got to the voting place because it could speak both English and Tamil.
At 7 a.m., polls began in Puducherry, Kerala, and Assam. This was a very important part of the Assembly elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi told people to take part in the political process.
In a post on X, the Prime Minister asked more people to vote, especially women and young people. “As the Puducherry Assembly elections start, I urge all voters to show up in record numbers and cast their ballots.” I especially ask young people and women supporters to help make democracy stronger. “Every vote counts in making Puducherry’s future,” he said.
There are 10,14,070 people in Puducherry who are qualified to vote. There are 5,39,125 women, 4,74,788 men, and 157 voters who identify as a third gender. There are 24,156 first-time voters between the ages of 18 and 19, and 6,034 people over the age of 85.
This is the first time that this kind of technology has been used in a poll in Puducherry, so people will remember it. The voting station is a one-of-a-kind place because of the mix of traditional clothing and modern technology.
As voting continues, the robot Nila has not only drawn a lot of people but also made them feel excited, making them more likely to vote.
