Name of the robot: PEPPER:The humanoid robot priest
Description: A Japanese company has introduced a new role for SoftBank’s humanoid robot “Pepper” - a Buddhist priest for hire at funerals. Chanting sutras in a computerized voice while tapping a drum, the robot was on display at a funeral industry fair - the Life Ending Industry Expo - in Tokyo. With Japan’s population ageing and shrinking, many Buddhist priests receive less financial support from their communities, prompting some to find part-time work outside their temple duties. The funeral robot could step in when a priest was not available, he said. It also cost less at 50,000 yen (about $450) per funeral compared to more than 240,000 yen ($2,200) for a human priest.

Name of the robot/machine: Robot puppetry by INKER ROBOTICS
Description: Thrissur-based Inker Robotics is a tech startup founded in 2018 by 38-year-old Rahul Balachandran. It trains school and college students in automation and robotics, as well as developing robots to work in agriculture, industry and other areas. The puppets are programmed so that when a sensor detects the presence of a visitor it plays one of the stories from Kamba Ramayana, lasting between 30 minutes to two hours. It has been a huge hit since its installation and attracted large crowds before the most recent lockdown.
“People were amazed and excited to see the robot-operated puppet show as it was a new experience for them,” says Milton Francis, the director of the museum."
But, despite the success of the robot-operated puppets, the Pulavars don’t want to lose the human touch and have decided to limit their use to stage performances while keeping the traditional hand-operated puppets for temple performances out of respect for the “beliefs and traditions of our elders”.

Name of the robot: Drum machine robot
Description: This unique little robot roams around looking for objects. When it finds one, it drums on it, samples the sound, then breaks into a pretty catchy rhythm using that new sound. The robot can also detect foot stomping or hand clapping and adjust its tempo to match it. According to the website, the materials cost about $120 and it took 5 hours to create. The builder made very clever use of commonly available items, even the wood from a cheese container! Powered by just four AA batteries, the robot remarkably uses no servo motors, and reportedly runs a very long time.

Name of the robot: aarti and pooja performing robot by V S Sabu
Description: It is a robot performing all the pujas and rituals to an Ayyappa idol in the same way a priest does in the temple!. V S Sabu, 58, who developed reportedly the first autonomous robot in the country in his R&D lab in 1987 for educational purposes. The invention was acknowledged and lauded by the office of the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Technical Department of Education, Kerala.
‘’I had no serious thoughts even then and now to commercially use its possibilities for religious purposes although the robot can perform all the rituals in a temple like performing arathi with incense to the idol, burning camphor, garlanding the idol, or lighting the traditional lamps and performing the arathi with lamps,” said Sabu, who has 38 years of experience in design, development and manufacturing apart from specialising in Robotics.
A diploma holder in Electrical Engineering in 1980 and certified in various technologies, Sabu learnt the basics of the programme language used for operating the robot from former VSSC engineer Sudhakar Rao.

Name of the robot: Aarti performing robot by Patil Automation Pvt Ltd.
Description: Ahmedabad-based Patil Automation hit the idea of letting a robot perform the aarti for the elephant-headed god at its Pune facility. Primarily symbolising the removal of darkness, this ritual traditionally involves a priest or a devotee or blazing camphor in a circular pattern before a deity, accompanied by chants or hymns. The concept of offering prayers and obeisances to gods seems to changing. What was once, and still majorly a man's work, is now being done by a robot, at least in this video. Amidst all this is a robot who has taken offerin prayers to the next level.The machine can be seeing performing the aarti while one can hear the famous 'Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram' religious melody.

Sanika Popale: THE ANDROID PRIEST THATS REVREVOLUTIONIZING BUDDHISM !!
✴️ DESCRIPTION - It may seem like an out there move, but a 400-year-old Japanese temple has brought in a robot named Mindar to preach sermons.[Mindar] can meet a lot of people and store a lot of information [over time]. It will evolve infinitely." The temple has been accused of sacrilege by some critics, but Goto rejects these claims. "Buddhism isn't a belief in a God, it's pursuing Buddha's path," he adds. "It doesn't matter whether it's represented by a machine, a piece of scrap metal or a tree." Mindar, which has a gender-neutral body, was developed as a collaboration between the Kodaiji temple and robotics professor Hiroshi Ishiguro of Osaka University, with a reported cost of around $1 million.

MECHANISM
we are making a system which will be able to perform aarti and ring bells. we will be using a rim a chain and a dc motor to rotate the bells in an to and fro motion which will assist in ringing the bells. this mechanism is being used in many parts of the world . we will be using a slider crank mechanism to perform the aarti . The crank which is the rotating disc, the slider which slides inside the tube and the connecting rod which joins the parts together. As the slider moves to the right the connecting rod pushes the wheel round for the first 180 degrees of wheel rotation. When the slider begins to move back into the tube, the connecting rod pulls the wheel round to complete the rotation. we can achieve desired rpm by increasing or decreasing the speed of the slider.
