A humanoid robot directs traffic at<br />

a busy intersection in Kinshasa, in<br />

the Democratic Republic of Congo.<br />

This solar-powered prototype<br />

is equipped with four cameras that<br />

allow it to record traffic. The information<br />

is then transmitted to a centre which<br />

analyses traffic infractions. This robot and its<br />

twin were designed by a group of Congolese<br />

engineers based at the Kinshasa Higher<br />

Institute of Applied Techniques (ISTA).<br />
