The idea was simple: when someone entered and was detected by the sensor, the RF module would transmit a signal to a receiver on the other end.That receiver would then process the information and activate the Avishkar robot attached to a ropeway setup. Bhuvanesh showed viewers the arrangement, pointing out the receiver module, the rope and the small robot carrying the birthday card. He then demonstrated how it worked. When he placed his hand in front of the IR sensor, it detected the movement and sent a signal to the receiver. The ropeway system sprang into action, with the little robot moving along the rope while carrying the card to its destination.Sharing the project, Bhuvanesh captioned the video, “Birthday card to my mom with ropeway setup.” Watch the video here:His creativity earned appreciation from viewers, with one calling the project incredibly cool and saying that more young minds like his were needed.Another encouraged him to keep exploring his interest, saying it could lead to new inventions.A third wished him well, expressing hope that he would continue creating and eventually achieve his ambitions.- Ends
