Human race is evolving from fish to birds, from birds to animal, animals to ape and from ape to Homo sapiens. The evolution from earliest life form to modern world took approximately 4000 million years; of this period last 10,000 years have been of significant importance to human race. Man has evolved from a hunter gatherer, slave to the nature, subject to and terrified of diseases, animals and unknown forces of nature into a modern man nested into the wonders of scientific discovery, fighting successfully against diseases and taming nature.
His biggest ally in the above endeavor was his brain. That brain which gave birth to industrial revolution followed by cyber revolution and is now nurturing a robotic revolution. One of the pioneers of the same and included in the Times list of hundred most influential people is Prof. Henrik Scharfe from Aalborg University Denmark. He was a little known professor till he developed his robotic twin Geminoid DK.
He was in India recently on account of India Today Conclave. He says future robots will be mobile, networked and very intelligent and adds that the future technology will be designed in the following manner, First future robots s will be mobile and occupy human inhabited places, secondly future robotics will network robots and they will be able to draw from multiple sources of information ranging from entire internet to hundreds of other robots.
They may even have social security number and passports with variety of looks from mechanical looking to human. It might be difficult to differentiate a robot from his creator. It may sound like science fiction, but very probable to happen sooner than later.
At Sharda keeping in tune with the times we train the brain into a well equipped knowledge box, that has a heart and an empathetic soul. “Contrivance” our Tech festival is one step towards this goal. It provides our students a platform to showcase their intellectual brilliance through a plethora of events circling around the core idea of this university, i.e. academic excellence. Contrivance aims to bring students excelling in academics under one roof through a series of interactive events.
The team of Contrivance 2014 has proposed the theme of this year’s events as ‘Science fiction and future technology”. The various events will be UDAAN, RC BAJA, ROBOTICS, Electronics and communication, Circuit breaker and Electronic Wizards.

So Sharda welcomes you all for this stimulating and memorable experience, to blend your brain and technology together.
