Two Pakistani teams managed to win Huawei's Middle East ICT Competition by claiming the first and second prizes respectively.
During the regional finals of the Huawei’s Middle East ICT Competition 2020, two Pakistani teams won coming first and second position respectively.
“This year marked the fifth iteration of the Huawei ICT Competition, which included the practice competition and newly included innovation track of the competition … the innovation competition came to a close yesterday with Pakistani teams from Ghulam Ishaq Khan (GIK) Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology and University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Lahore winning the ‘Best Application Project Award’ and the ‘Excellence in Health and Wellbeing Award’ respectively,” stated a press release.
It said the two Pakistani teams; GIK’s team supervised by Dr. Ghulam Abbas included Mohammad Inam, Uzair Ahmed, and Gulfam Hussain designed a cloud-based AI-application called ‘Wear-tificially’ which will enable users to virtually try on clothes. The application aims to make people’s experience of shopping from home easier during the pandemic awarding them with the first prize in the Huawei ICT Competition.
The team from UET, mentored by Dr. Mohammad Usman Ghani Khan with Shoaib Shabbir, Arooj Zaib, and Umer Lodhi as members created a robot for analyzing and improving the social interaction of autistic individuals. By automating the process of speech therapy for autistic children, they designed a syllabus of words that the robot was taught so it could evaluate the child’s response. With little to no awareness of autism in Pakistan, their project was truly a much-needed innovation in today’s world. The amazing creation by this Pakistani team from UET ended up winning the second prize in the Huawei ICT Competition!
