I’m Sheheryar Ahmad, a 15-year-old Year 11 student at the International School of Creative Science, Muweilah, with a passion for innovation, problem-solving, and turning ideas into reality. My latest project is a 6 Degrees of Freedom robotic arm I built independently, using EMG muscle sensors, AI-powered voice control, IR input, and analog systems to create a responsive, intelligent, multi-modal machine.
This project reflects more than engineering—it proves that students today can leverage AI, tech, and self-learning to build meaningful solutions. Beyond robotics, I’m building an Islamic productivity app to help students balance faith and academics, while also exploring cybersecurity and running ventures in video production and car flipping.
As a TED-Ed Student Talks participant, I’ve embraced public speaking to inspire others to take action. At GESS 2025, I’m not just showcasing a robot—I’m sharing a mindset: that youth can be builders, leaders, and creators of tomorrow’s tech-powered world.

Mind Over Metal: Building the Future with Muscle, Voice, and Code
Session Summary:
I present my Six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) robotic arm — a breakthrough in human-robot interaction. Engineered for precision and fluidity, this arm mimics the natural movement of a human limb with six joints, offering unmatched dexterity and control.
What sets it apart is its multi-modal interface: it responds to real-time muscle signals (EMG), voice commands processed by AI, IR remote input, and fine analog tuning. This fusion of biology and technology creates a seamless experience where the arm feels like an extension of the user’s body.
Designed for versatility, it adapts from delicate tasks to powerful movements, making it ideal for demonstrations, assistive tech, and industrial use. More than a machine, it represents the future of collaboration between humans and AI, where intent and precision meet.
At GESS 2025, I will demonstrate not just the arm’s capabilities but a vision of robotics that amplifies human potential through intuitive, intelligent control.
