A kid can make a huge difference! The impossible task needs to be picked first, if the aim is to change the world, said Harshvadhan Zala, a 15-year-old technology expert, who is now developing drones which detect landmines for the CRPF with 93 per cent accuracy.
“World needs 37% accuracy to detect landlines. My first prototype could detect 57% but the latest technology can detect 93% accuracy. I want to serve my nation and work with the Indian army,” Zala said while talking at Tedx Jaipur on Saturday.
“I want to see a world without landmines. My first aim was to to remove human interference in detecting land mines and detect them in all kinds of environment,” he added.
He then explained that his biggest challenge was not the technical aspect but arranging for finance.
“I used my practical knowledge and ideas in the final year projects of engineer friends. I used to collected fee to fund my project,” he said.
While narrating his journey he explained that he first built a prototype of a drone, then developed a technology that could detect metallic landmines from a certain height.
“However, my drone did not support the tracking technology. I then started working on a drone prototype which was compatible with my detector. I used customised 3D-printed drone which allowed me to attach the technology,” he explained.
While talking about the latest development, Zala said that he is now working with CRPF to develop technology that will not only detect landmines but will destroy them.
“I have accepted the third challenge of destroying the landmines after detecting them without human interference. The drone will drop a detonator from a certain height which is controlled from the ground room,” Zala explained.
He further said that The biggest moment in his journey was when the Director General of CRPF visited Ahemdabad to see his project.
