If you haven’t seen the Shalu robot then you are missing something very important. It is a humanoid robot developed on the lines of the Sophia robot. Introducing Shalu as the first and probably the only intelligent Indian humanoid robot would be belittling the efforts...
The Indian humanoid robot is officially named Shalu. A science teacher and a robotics expert Mr Dinesh Patel developed the first intelligent humanoid robot in India as a research project & is inspired by Robot Sophia and the movie Robot (Enthiran). The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research helped Mr Patel in developing the Indian robot. Shalu speaks 9 Indian languages and 38 foreign languages. The robot is made up of waste materials found in homes. Its features are explained in the India Science TV channel documentary about the robot's development.
