00:00INNOVATION CITRONYS
00:24My name is Zainal Binti Muhammad Zain.
00:26I'm 46 years old.
00:28I'm from UNPSA.
00:29The issue for this innovation started from a problem in the UNPSA pool.
00:35For the cleaning process, we need a professional diver to clean.
00:40It's a bit costly.
00:41So, starting from there,
00:43we started to think of a way to solve this problem.
00:49Watch remotely underwater cleaning robot.
00:56Doctor, there's a robot to clean the pool.
00:59Yes, that's right.
01:00So, has this concept ever existed?
01:03Is there any competition to this idea in the market?
01:06As far as industrial robots are concerned,
01:09there's one for basic cleaning.
01:11But there's no integrated sensor
01:14that can monitor the quality of water or other parameters.
01:18Wow, this robot is like a next level robot.
01:21UCROV.
01:25This is a robot that can not only clean the water,
01:32but it's also equipped with sensors on this robot.
01:37Okay.
01:38The first component is a sensor module.
01:41In this module, there are several industrial sensors
01:45that can read the parameters related to water,
01:48such as pressure sensor, depth sensor, temperature sensor, and pH sensor.
01:54On the front of the robot, there's a sponge.
01:57On the bottom of the robot, there's a brush to brush the floor.
02:03And also, we have a filter to trap all the dirt that has been washed.
02:08There's a camera,
02:09which shows the image of the robot when we're in the water.
02:13We can see it directly on our laptop
02:17to help us control the pressure in the robot.
02:22Okay, we've inserted the robot into the pool.
02:29Now, this is a demonstration of the camera on our robot.
02:35This robot is actually controlled by only one operator
02:40who only uses a telephone.
02:43Our robot is being controlled and is climbing the wall of the pool.
02:49Please give a round of applause for UCRO-V!
02:53What is the cost of one prototype?
02:57Second, what is the optimum manufacturing quantity
03:03if you were to scale it up?
03:05Third, what is the break-even quantity
03:09to ensure that your robot can be commercially viable?
03:15The budget for this prototype is around RM30,000 to RM35,000.
03:20For the break-even cost,
03:22we solve this problem based on the actual problem.
03:27At UMPSA, we have a diver pool for cleaning and maintenance.
03:32For a year, it costs up to RM200,000.
03:35So, if we use this robot three times a year,
03:38we can save money for the cost during the year.
03:44For me, based on the quantity,
03:46five to six times a year is enough
03:48as a starting point for them to use this new technology.
03:52Very good idea, Doctor.
03:54In fact, those who are owning a swimming pool,
03:57I think they need it.
03:58From a house owner perspective or even condos,
04:02what is your market strategy?
04:04First, for people who go to hotels,
04:06swimming pool is one of the things they look at first.
04:11The first target audience would be hotels?
04:15Commercial use.
04:17It's still manual.
04:19If it can move automatically, then it's better.
04:24I think it's the cost.
04:27The so-called addressable market is a bit small.
04:31I like the idea.
04:36It's like the robot vacuum cleaner.
04:39It's like a robot vacuum.
04:40They could create a mall to a home.
04:43A small swimming pool.
04:46I think it's doable.
04:48It's not very difficult for them.
