The brilliant concept of ?One Man Everywhere?, a brainchild of Mr. Bhatiya Tissera, has been actualized with the development of the highly sophisticated and innovative ?Max Rover? robotic device.

The chief team behind the development of this historic device are the extremely talented and experienced team of Electronic and Software Engineers of the Java Robotics and Intelligent Systems Research Centre, which is one of the pioneering research centers of the Java Institute for Advanced Technology.

Vision and Concept

The visionary behind the Java Institute?s Max Rover is Mr. Bhatiya Tissera, the Managing Director of the Java Institute for Advanced Technology and the Java Robotics and Intelligent Systems Research Centre.

Mr. Bhatiya Tissera?s unique vision for the Max Rover primarily includes the following significant goals:

1. To enable an individual to carry out communications with any other place in the globe.
2.To reach inaccessible and hazardous locations.
3.To connect and communicate with a voluminous number of other robots simultaneously.
4.To increase efficiency and save labour, time, and money in communication activities.

Importance and Functionality

As mentioned above, the Max Rover was designed with a unique concept in mind and the robot can achieve a number of various tasks within a wide array of fields. The primary advantage of utilising the Max Rover is the immense quantity of time, labour, as well as finances that can be saved due to the amazing efficiency and capabilities of the robot.

One of the key benefits of this technically superior device is its ability to communicate with any other person or device from any location of the world.

Furthermore, the controllers of the Max Rover can remotely control the robot via several popular and modern communication technologies, and this allows the users of the robot to accomplish a number of useful functions. This capability enhances the importance and significance of the Max Rover and allows the controllers to successfully experience the concept of ?One Man Everywhere?.

The fields and sectors in which the Max Rover will be highly useful and important are as follows:

- Communications
- Construction
- Travel and Exploration
- Military and Space
- Scientific Research.

The Max Rover is equipped with cutting-edge technology and is able to perform a number of functions. For example, the robot is able to communication with wireless communication technologies, including Wi-Fi technology. In addition, the robot is fitted with a camera and this enables the remote controlling party to observe the surroundings of the Max Rover through multiple computer systems from any place of the world. The modern communications technology of the Max Rover as well as the remote controllers enable the exchange of information, including live video feeds, between any number of groups from Sri Lanka, India, the United States, as well as any other nation. This is one of the most amazing as well as useful capabilities of this modern robotic device.

This amazing and innovative robot has the capability of reaching locations that are inaccessible as well as dangerous for humans. For example, any construction site or similar locations that could be hazardous as well as risky for humans could be easily accessed by the Max Rover.

The controller of the robot can be at a safe location while completely monitoring all activities of the robot in any location.

Similarly, the users of the Max Rover can achieve other tasks in a highly convenient as well as efficient manner. All of this functionality and importance as well as the benefits provided by the Max Rover results in the fulfilment of its concept ?One Man Everywhere?, as just one individual in just one location can accomplish given targets or tasks in multiple other locations.

The team of Electronic and Software Engineers of the Java Robotics and Intelligent Systems Research Centre, which is one of the pioneering research centers of the Java Institute for Advanced Technology, has come up with yet another amazing creation.

A hexa copter is the next step up from a quadcopter. This model have six motors and corresponding propellers. This adds to the capability of the aircraft and really makes this the optimal choice for anyone flying with expensive cameras attached. Essentially, these models have all of the same major benefits of a quadcopter with a lot more added in.

"Accordingly, the hexa copter can be regarded as an appropriate choice for drones that need to carry other equipment, including cameras."

Power: These models have higher speeds and more power due to the two extra motors included.

Height: Fly higher in the air than ever before. A Hexa copter reaches higher elevations with ease compared to its counterpart.

Safety: By having 6 motors 120 degrees apart, one motor can die while the rest pick up the slack. This means that a pilot will be able to safely land the drone even if one motor is damaged. For anyone coming from a quadcopter, this would be very difficult to do with less motors.

If lose two motors but still have the ability to fly this hexa copter and properly land. The positioning of the motor will be the deciding factor on whether a pilot can fly or will end up crashing their drone.

You need to carry a heavier payload, meaning you can use better cameras for recording, or heavier accessories.

The pros are:

Greater overall power, speed and elevation.

Safety provided through additional motors.

Higher overall payload.

Great control and flight speed.

This Hexa copter will not start up by pushing the RC throttle sticks directly, as the flying mode can only be achieved under the manual mode or hovering mode.

The GPS Compass Module is a necessary equipment to achieve high precision hover. After connecting compass module with GPS module, the Hexa Copter can achieve high-precision fixed-point hovering, automatic return and other driving functions.

Automatic return when transmitter out of control: The Hexa Copter take off after red led flashes 3 times and positioning successfully. If remote control signal cannot be detected or shut down the power of transmitter, Hexa Copter will perform return task, and return to the home point.

Exploring the underwater world using specialized equipment, such as scuba gear, is known as underwater diving. Scuba diving enables divers to breathe underwater, allowing them to stay submerged for extended periods and explore the aquatic environment. There are various types of underwater diving, including recreational, technical, and commercial diving. Recreational diving is the most popular type of diving, undertaken for leisure purposes, such as exploring coral reefs or shipwrecks. Technical diving involves advanced equipment and training and is typically done to explore deeper or more challenging dive sites. Commercial diving is done for professional purposes, such as underwater construction or maintenance.

Proper training and certification, as well as specialized equipment such as wetsuits, tanks, regulators, and fins, are required for underwater diving. It also necessitates a strong understanding of safety procedures and skills such as buoyancy control, equalization, and underwater communication. Underwater diving can be an exciting and rewarding experience, offering divers a unique perspective on the underwater world and a sense of exploration and adventure.

The Java Institute diving club, based in the Unawatuna area, guides children to obtain PADI certification for safe and professional-level diving. Interested children can join the club without prior knowledge, and PADI-certified trainers provide training from basic to advanced levels.
