Lokesh Gautam, Anurag Sengar, Prakash Jha, Sweety Khanna, Sunil, Anurag Choudhary and Lalit, final year mechanical students, developed the small gadgets to "study survival conditions for existence."

Talking about Terminator they said, "it has ultra-sonic anti-collision system, for lifting front two climber wheels, it is six wheel drive with 360 degree rotation on its axis, it can fire bullets, detect bombs, defuse and also carry bombs and has a claw mounted on the moving arms for collecting material."

It is more than 70 percent complete already, costing around Rs 30,000 and the students have given a demonstration, HOD Dhirendra Singh said about the project.

The guides Uddhav Dwivedi and Anurag Sharma told Agratoday.in, "the robot will be computer controlled with in-built GPS system for control and memorandum technology will be installed for tracing the path.

Prof BD Gupta, former director of the prestigious KNIT in Sultanpur, after watching the demo, said "the robot has great potential and should be patented."

The students said their robot would beef up the security and protection capabilities, minimising human power requirement and reducing potential threats.
