KARACHI: The 11-year-old Bilal Ahmed has built his very own drone at the Microsoft Innovation Centre in Karachi.
Bilal has also built a number of robots on multiple platforms. His ambition is to develop a Bionic Suit, which is a sort of an external robotic suit that enables people to do more work but using less effort and power. It will even help the paralysed people to walk again.
Coming to his latest achievement, as per the details released by TechNet Microsoft’s blog, the drone is made up of aluminum that has a camera attached to take photos and videos. Bilal converted a QR X350 drone into a military standard drone that can achieve heights of up to 1500 feet.
In addition to this, the drone can take off and land automatically. It is also backed by an in-built GPS which allows live telemetry data and graphs to be viewed on a radio controller for post flight checks.
According to the report, the young prodigy, skilled at technology at such a tender age, was first discovered by his father, who then contacted Ozair Belal belonging to Developer Experience and Evangelism (DX) at the Microsoft Innovation Centre in Karachi to support Bilal. “After interviewing Bilal to evaluate his technical skills and knowledge it was evident that the 11-year-old had the potential to do great things,” says Ozair.
