The first Saudi robot in history is a completely local achievement
The Saudi Dr. Faisal Salem Al-Sarheed succeeded in completing the first Saudi-made and innovative robot in history, which was called "Peaceful", in relation to the religion of Islam and Muslims, and it is able to talk and conduct dialogue in both Arabic and English, and it also memorizes many surahs of the Holy Quran and the hadiths of the Prophet, in addition to many Saudi popular terms in addition to their interpretation and knowledge of their meanings, as well as his possession of a set of general information about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and some Arab Gulf countries.
Al-Sarheed is a Saudi academic and innovator, who holds a PhD in cloud robotics using artificial intelligence from a British university, and works in artificial intelligence, in addition to being a university professor at the College of Information Computing and Director of the Science and Technology Unit at the Saudi Electronic University.
The Saudi robot "Masalem" introduces himself, saying: "I was made in Saudi Arabia and printed my body with three-dimensional printing technology, and I am able to dialogue in both Arabic and English", and what distinguishes this pioneering Saudi innovation in this field, is its use of the most modern artificial intelligence techniques, which makes it an impact of intelligence and confidence in its answers and dialogues, with each new dialogue that is held with him, because its creator Al-Sarheed, uses machine learning technology in his programming, and what distinguishes him more, as it has been completely made by Saudi hands.
Challenges that Sarheed faced during his work.
The Saudi scientist Faisal Al-Sarheed told a number of media outlets that his robot project "Masalem" began nearly two and a half years ago, but the biggest challenge for him was to make him understand and speak classical Arabic, and the Saudi dialect, and after many months of work, he happened to find a solution to this problem in conjunction with the launch of the "NEOM" project, and was able to succeed in this challenge, and the robot industry using the "three-dimensional" printing technology, where Al-Sarheed confirms that this printing was the The perfect choice to complete "Masalim", after more than seven months of work, and all this effort was supported by the Saudi Electronic University.Work and development is still underway.
Faisal Al-Sarheed, according to what he told "Arabi Post", that work on the robot "Peaceful" is still underway so far, as he is trying during this period and the coming periods, to make it more proficient in terms of shape and movement, in addition to focusing on developing his mental abilities with regard to his artificial intelligence, pointing out that the program is now working on issuing a new version of the robot "Peaceful" every approximately 6 months, and believes that engineering has entered into all fields, and that robots will control In the near future on all professions and jobs.
The message of the Sarheed to the Arab youth.
Faisal Al Sarheed calls on all Arab youth to seize this opportunity provided by "three-dimensional" printing, which will facilitate innovators in technical fields to present their best easily and flexibly, and will also allow a lot of space for the manufacture of different materials and things, which is a golden opportunity to advance our countries for the better.
Faisal Al-Sarheed pointed out that countries were previously competing in reaching the moon in outer space, and they have succeeded in this dream on the ground, and have already arrived, as this has become a simple and normal matter in our time, but now all these developed countries are racing with their interest to compete in the robotics industry and the development of artificial intelligence, because they combine many sciences with each other at the same time, such as biology, kinesiology, computer science, mechanics, electronics science, artificial intelligence, and success In the manufacture of advanced robots, it gives an indication that this country or that organization was able to gather scientists in various disciplines to come up with something great and be able to reach something that everyone thought was impossible or difficult to apply.
