At Robotics Association of Nepal, as engineers, we not only find the problems but also look for the creative solution to those problems. Be it an agricultural issues [DCDC 2015], or implementation of students’ invention [Innovation Center], or platform for robotics enthusiast and artists [Yantra Art, Science, Tech festival]. After #Nepal Earthquake, we identified communication and illumination as one of the major problem faced by Nepalese after food, clothing and shelter issue. To solve this problem, we have developed Solar Powered Light and Mobile Charger (SPLMC) which could support three mobiles and two 3W LED bulb at a time.

The team of Robotics Association of Nepal had gone for survey on remote villages of Nuwakot District. According to the Local Development Office, Nuwakot, after Nepal was hit by 7.9 Richter scale, almost 80% of Houses of Nuwakot are destroyed. Mainly old houses made up of mud were highly damaged causing hundreds of death. Since then there is no proper supply of electricity in the upper hilly villages of Nuwakot. The locals of such areas have to spend 10 hours of walk for 2 hours of mobile charge to the headquarter of Nuwakot, Bidur and ain’t able to live with proper sight during night time.

After the surveyon remote areas of Nuwakot district , our team went to Jiling V.D.C which is at the altitude of about 2100 km above the sea. It took us one and half hour bike ride from Dhamale to reach at the village area of Jiling through spiral gravel roads. Beautiful Jiling V.D.C was turned into cruel dust leaving 1000 of villagers homeless. Most of the villagers had dead mobiles waiting for our arrival to make it function again. Villagers shared they have been overlooked for rescue and relief operation as they weren’t easily accessible. Then, two systems were distributed in responsibility of Mr.Nabaraj Lama, social teacher of community school. We hope there won’t be suffocation for communication as villagers will be able to charge their mobile and sight stimulation can be fulfilled to some extent.

After our announcement of #Light Of Hope Earthquake Relief Campaign, the needy persons are contacting us for the system supply. We have successfully deployed  204  “Solar Powered Light And Mobile Charger”  station to following districts of Nepal in collaboration with Ghampower Nepal Pvt.Ltd.. We are also working with different relief teams like World Peace Earthquake relief Helping Hands, local relief teams  like Bharat prasad Smriti Pratisthan in order to make our work efficient.

Further Planned Area:

As electricity will be major issue even after resettlement, so we are targeting to distribute Solar Powered Light and Mobile Chargers to remote villages of Nepal which are as follows:

Each system consists of following electronics components:

In this overwhelming distressed circumstance, we Robotics Association Of Nepal are trying our best to help the  underprivileged villagers due to the geographical backwardness.

Google Classroom is a free web service, developed by Google for schools, that aims to simplify creating, distributing, and grading assignments in a paperless way. The primary purpose of Google Classroom is to streamline the process of sharing files between teachers and students.

Google Classroom enables teachers to create an online classroom area in which they can manage all the documents that their students need. Documents are stored on Google Drive and can be edited in Drive’s apps, such as Google Docs, Sheets, and so on. But what separates Google Classroom from the regular Google Drive experience is the teacher/student interface, which Google designed for the way teachers and students think and work. During this lockdown period, google classroom can really prove beneficial for students and teachers to continue the learning process. As schools are not able to run it can help to cover up a lot through its interactive and easy to use interface Some primary features of google classroom are:

• Making Assignments

The assignment is one of the key parts of learning. As a teacher one can easily make homework assignments by uploading the necessary documents for the students to read or work on.Students receive e-mail notification of new assignment. The students “turn in” the assignment when finished, and teachers can then grade the assignments.

• Store Classroom Materials

Google Classroom allows storing not only the documents and materials for an assignment but also the classroom material such as books.

• Student Interaction

This is the most important feature of google classroom as it allows students to interact with each other and the teacher through the interface in real-time. They can comment on assignments and announcement through the same interface. This helps a lot during the current situation as schools are not able to conduct classes and have to opt for online classes.

We have prepared documentation for Getting Started with Google Classroom for teacher and students which could be accessed from below:

COVID19 has hit us hard, hundreds of people are dying on a daily basis from lack of ICU beds, Oxygen Supply and many others deprived of oxygen lying in the corridors of hospitals. Lots of Organizations, Alliances, Government Agencies, Groups are bringing the right tools and technologies to save people’s lives. It has been reported the Oxygen Plants, Concentrators, Ventilators and other equipment are coming to Nepal but without after sales support. Furthermore, lack of technicians is stopping the use of those life-saving devices.

As shared by Dr. Shishir, Bir Hospital during Innotalk #4, “ For the preparation of the 3rd wave, hospital administration should be able to update with technologies and must be able to use them when necessary for biomedical tools and technologies.” In Nepal, there was a shortage of oxygen, crisis production was tight but the main problem lay in real time oxygen mapping and management. Also with doctors, machines are saving lives and like the human body, they also need care and maintenance. So biomedical engineers are a must for this country and engineers and doctors need to collaborate now. For the 3rd wave, hospitals should step up and push the administration hard for next level preparation in this through digital push.

To fight these challenges, Robotics Association of Nepal [RAN], Biotechnology Society of Nepal [BSN] and Biomedical Engineering Foundation Nepal [BEFN] are working together as a Mission Oxygen Team [MOT] with Nepal Biomedical Association [NBA] as a supporting organization where we are recruiting Engineers with Biomedical background or have previously worked on Biomedical devices to install, operate, maintain and operate the Oxygen facilities all over Nepal as we three organization together would mobilize the members and other interested volunteers to solve these existing challenge.

रोबोटिक्स एसोसिएसन अफ नेपाल [ र्यान ] ले खाना तथा औषधि बोक्ने रोबोटको पहिलो परीक्षण शिक्षण अस्पताल, महाराजगंजमा सफलतापूर्वक सम्पन्न गरेको छ । चैत्र ३० मा, विकासकर्ता सहितको टोलीले शिक्षण अस्पतालका बायोमेडिकल ईन्जिनियरसँगको समन्वय पश्चात शिक्षण अस्पतालको भ्रमण गर्नुभएको थियो । शिक्षण अस्पतालसँगको समन्वयतामा यस रोबोटका एक विकासकर्ता तथा कान्तिविर नामक समुहका पंकज जपरेलको मुख्य भुमिका रहेको थियो ।

रोबोट बनाउने समुहले अस्पतालका निर्देशक डा. प्रेमकृष्ण खड्गलाई परीक्षण सम्बन्धि जानकारी गराएर आइसोलेसन वार्डमा रहेका नर्सहरूसँग वार्तालाप गरे जो कोरोना शंका लागेका बिरामिहरूको हेरचाहमा खटिएका थिए ।

रोबोनट्स नामक समुहको टोली प्रमुख समेत रहेका पृथ्वी चौधरीले रोबोट कसरी सञ्चालन गर्ने र हरेक बेडमा खाना तथा औषधिहरू कसरि ढुवानी गर्ने भन्ने बारेमा एक डेमो प्रस्तुति दिनुभयो । आइसोलेसन वार्ड कोरोना आशंका लागेका तथा संक्रमित बिरामिको उपचारको लागि तयार गरिएको हुँदा उक्त सफल डेमो प्रस्तुति हाम्रो लागि कोसेढुंगा सावित भयो । साथै ओजटेक नामक संस्थाका रिचन जोशीले एफपीभी (First Person View) सेटको साथ रोबोट कसरी प्रयोग गर्ने, यसलाई कसरी सजिलै सँग नियन्त्रण गर्न सकिन्छ र कसरी स्वास्थ्यकर्मीहरूले यसलाई खाना तथा औषधि वितरणमा सञ्चालन गर्न सक्षम हुनसक्छन् भन्ने बारेमा नर्सहरूलाई विस्तृत जानकारि दिनुभयो । एफपीभी सेटको सहायताले रोबोट चालकले रोबोटको नजरबाट रोबोट कसरि गुडिरहेको छ भन्ने जानकारि रोबोटमा राखिएको क्यामेराको दृश्य सहित हेर्न सक्छन् । पंकज जपरेलले सफलतापूर्वक रोबोटलाई आइसोलेसन वार्डमा चलाए पश्चात रोबोटले कसरि स्वचालित रूपमा आफ्नो तथा बिरामिको सरसफाई गर्न सक्छ र बिरामि र स्वास्थयकर्मिहरूबिचको संवाद कसरि गर्न सकिन्छ भन्ने विषयमा स्वास्थ्यकर्मिहरूबाट सुझाव तथा रोबोटको काम सम्बन्धि प्रतिक्रिया लिनुभयो । रोबोटलाई सम्माननिय स्वास्थ्य मन्त्री भानुभक्त ढकालको समक्ष चैत्र २ गते दिउँसो २ बजे स्वास्थ्य तथा जनसंख्या मन्त्रालयमा समेत प्रदर्शनि गरिएको थियो ।

रोबोटको सहायताले नर्सहरु तथा स्वास्थ्यकर्मिहरूको प्रत्यक्ष सहभागिता बिनानै कोरोना आशंका लागेका तथा संक्रमित बिरामिहरूको उचित हेरचाह तथा उपचार निश्चित गर्न सकिन्छ भन्ने आशा गरिएको छ ।

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has finally made its way into Nepal. After the recent lockdown implemented by the government, Nepal is ready to press the panic button. Since the first case, that was confirmed back on Jan 24, there has been an addition of two new cases till date. Although, a little too late government imposed travel bans from countries which have somewhat helped to reduce the risk of an outbreak. The Sukraraj Tropical & Infectious Disease hospital-being the only hospital currently able to test the disease- has tested only about 610 patients due to the limited number of testing kits available.Along with this pandemic, many misinformation has also made its way to Nepal. From government hiding infected cases to different misleading treatments, coronavirus has spread rumors rather than the disease itself. Not only that, some people have even taken advantage of the situation by creating fake shortages and selling goods in the black market mainly masks and sanitizers.

Economically corona has caused a trade stoppage from China and India-the two giants Nepal relies on- creating a shortage of goods. But this time around, the economy is a little less to worry about as a possible mass outbreak is on hand if necessary actions aren’t taken on time.

As precautionary measures is not a forte of Nepalese people and health care facilities are nowhere close to being okay enough to handle a mass outbreak, Nepalese should realize that the best way to fight is staying home. People’s judgment still seems to be clouded by the thoughts that this disease isn’t as deadly as is seems. A high number of misbeliefs such as Nepalese are immune to this strain has made people ignorant about the effects of this virus.

But here’s the problem. Even though the government announced a complete lockdown since 23rd March, people still have not realized the threats. From creating misinformation to neglecting the orders, people aren’t taking this matter seriously. Even if Nepal does not have a surge of cases now, there is every likelihood that we will have to deal with an outbreak next winter. Also, how COVID-19 will interact with a summer dengue outbreak like last year in Kathmandu is anyone’s guess. It is important to be prepared with preventive aspects.

We’ve already seen the debacle of many powerful countries. So let’s not panic, but be concerned. What awaits us is truly a matter of life or death.
