According to foreign media reports, if the Automised Mirror Testing Machine developed by three students at Iraq University (Iqra University) can receive funding from the government, then the solution may revolutionize the automotive industry. The three students are Syed Abu Talib Naqvi, Muhammad Shamshirur Rehman and Abu Hurairah Mehboob. They are mechanical engineering students. The three spent 9 months developing a mechanical device that can automatically test the exterior rearview of self-driving cars. Mirror, and be able to identify faults in it. At present, testing the exterior mirrors of self-driving cars is done manually. If it can be automated, it can reduce the time by half and double the production of automobile mirrors. The team will present its project to Stanford International University in Thailand on September 7 this year. In 2017, Naqvi worked as an intern in a private company that manufactures mirrors for self-driving cars. He observed the production process closely and learned about each stage of the production process in detail, but what bothers him is that there is no foolproof way to test the quality of the car mirror. Generally speaking, car mirrors are assembled from 8 to 10 parts. The final stage is that the worker must rotate the mirror on the mirror shaft to manually test whether the mirror fits. This process is very time-consuming, and ultimately the company cannot determine the potential cause of the mirror failure. In order to find the cause of the failure, the company must open every part of the assembled mirror. Sometimes, the car mirror passes the test phase and is sent to the car company for installation on an autonomous vehicle. At this time, the mirror may not work, and then have to be sent back to the mirror manufacturer, and the manufacturer still does not know where the problem is, and it will also affect the manufacturer's image. Therefore, Naqvi hopes to develop a device that can not only test the function of the car mirror, but also automatically identify the malfunction of the mirror. Three Iraqi University students chose sensors made in Pakistan to produce their automated car mirror testing machines. The sensors they use cost about 1200 rubles (about 131.95 yuan) and 1500 rubles (about 164.94 yuan), while similar sensors imported from other countries require 3500 rubles (about 384.86 yuan). However, the indicator of the machine is imported from China. The indicator will beep and emit a light signal at the place where the car mirror fails. At present, Japan and South Korea have similar automated car mirror testing machines, but the price is about 2.9 million rubles (about 318,900 yuan), but the machines developed by students only need 150,000 rubles (about 16,500 yuan), The product price is nearly 20 times lower than the international market. Automated car mirror testing machine will be able to completely change the production of self-driving car mirrors. The machine can test a single mirror in only 30 seconds, while manual testing takes about 1 minute and 10 seconds, reducing the test time by half. In addition, the machine can help reduce labor costs and benefit manufacturers. Moreover, the machine can also record the production volume of the mirror, with two modes of manual and automatic, even if the automatic mode encounters problems, the machine can still be used.
