Turkish engineers uses a BMW car to build a remote-controlled TRANSFORMER out of a Beamer that switches into a giant robot with arms and legs

The ANTIMON cannot walk, but the engineers say this functionality
 could be added if they find a buyer willing to pay

  • Group of 12 engineers and 4 technicians adapted ordinary car into robot.
  • In a process lasting seconds, the vehicle doors open and extend into arms.
  • Then head emerges from the roof, creating a fiercesome-looking machine.

A group of Turkish engineers adapted an ordinary BMW into a Transformer that turns into a giant robot with arms and legs at the touch of a button.

Meet Nigerian Engineer Ishola Babatunde Who Builds Robots At Home

Ishola Babatunde Isaac is an Inventor, Roboticist, Researcher, Electrical Engineer, and Software developer. He obtained a BSc. Electronic and Electrical Engineer (First Class Honor) from Obafemi Awolowo University where as a student; he was part of the OAU iLab team – research collaboration between Massachusetts Institute of Technology and OAU developing remote online laboratories that serves a good substitute to the conventional laboratories.
He developed a system that allows students to control real laboratory equipment over the internet. The remote labs are a great substitute for experimentation in Nigerian university given the chronic underfunding of higher institutions of learning, we get to see about 10 students clustered around a piece of lab equipment. With the remote labs, this problem is eliminated as only one equipment is needed regardless the number of students as students only get to access the lab remotely (over the internet) but without the time and space restriction associated with the conventional labs. Babatunde has developed several remote and virtual laboratories currently being used by students of OAU, contributed software
