Ferozepur, Apr 29 (UNI) The students of Government Polytechnique College here have developed a laser camera robot arm which can be used to detect explosives or hidden contraband from inaccesible places.

According to a lecturer Sudhir Kumar and student Group Leader Arun Kumar, the 25kg laser-camera robot arm, first of its kind in the state, can be sent by using remote up to 70 feet to take photos which can be viewed on a television screen. The device can be run by both electricty and battery.
