Pupils and Robotic Mission, Speaking to Ikorodu News Network (INN);

Akodu Tobiloba from community senior high school Alapere explained that his robot can unload freight from ships and deposit them in the port.

According to him, the essence of the robot is to offload shipments and transport people to the ship instead of them waiting for another means of transportation.

He named his robot Mind-Storm Inventory Robot.

Joe Halimat from CMS senior grammar school, referring to her robot as Leggo Might Storm EV3, said its mission is to secure the seaport.

Halimat said that her robot protects both imported and exported goods and also reduces the work burden on manpower.

“My robot functions to detect the right containers on the right ship to avoid misplacing or wastage of resources” she asserted.

Alabi Peculiar from Lagos State Senior Model College, who presented a Driving Base Robot, describe her gadget as a life-saving tool for both injured and displaced personnel on the seaport.
