A Nigerian robotics engineer, Olusola Ayoola, has built a carbon emission tracker drone that can smoke out criminals in any forest.

The University of Ibadan graduate who founded Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Nigeria (RAIN) told Tribune Online that there is a future for the country in robotics and artificial intelligence.

Olusola, an MSc and PhD holder from Manchester, intends to set up a training centre in Ibadan where the youths will be equipped with knowledge in this fast growing field.

Astrophysicist, Ovie Ali shared photos of the drone on Twitter.

Social media users were impressed with his innovative creation as many believe the tech could be a good tool in the fight against Boko Haram insurgents.
