The Science and Innovation Gallery 'Navachara Kaksh' (room of new ideas) is part of the President's favourite project of promoting new talent and innovators in the country and, after today's inauguration, it will be part of the Rashtrapati Bhavan's guided tour

It has been set up with the assistance of global chip maker Intel.

Clumsy, designed by 17-year Arsh Shah Dilbagi from Panipat, resembles a real dog and has 16 Servo Motors in its innards that enable it to perform motor actions like walking and squatting.

Clumsy also has sensors that allow it to see, touch, hear and see through its micro-controller board, which takes inputs from these sensors and controls the robotic dog's movements.

Arsh Shah has won awards at an international science competition.

Also on display are virtual tabla, key-less piano, 3D printer, a 'talking wall' and a 'planet wall'. "Visitors can also click selfies 3D-style with the President's House as a backdrop
