Hy droom al van kleintyd af om \u2019n robot te bou wat die w\u00eareld \u2019n beter plek gaan maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ben van Dijk, dux-leerder by die Proteahoogte-Akademie (PHA), is vandeesweek deur die Wes-Kaapse premier, Alan Winde, aangewys as een van die top-40 matrikulante in die provinsie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy en die provinsie se ander top-presteerders is Donderdagoggend met toekennings vereer by \u2019n glansgeleentheid by die premierswoning, Leeuwenhof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 slimkop het onderskeidings in sewe vakke behaal, waarin vyf meer as 90% was. Hy het sy agste onderskeiding met 0,9% gemis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dan was hy boonop ook die skool se robotika-boffin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As ons robotte dink, dink ons aan mannetjies wat rondloop, praat en bevele uitvoer, maar dit is nie noodwendig die geval in moderne robotika nie, s\u00ea Ben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2019n Robot is ook \u2019n masjien wat \u2019n spesifieke taak uitvoer wat voorheen met die hand gedoen is, soos byvoorbeeld \u2019n motor wat homself bestuur,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En dis presies wat hy beoog om eendag te vermag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die laaste dekade het oorsese maatskappye miljarde in die strewe na selfbesturende voertuie gestort, maar het baie van die hoofspelers om verskeie redes afgeskaal of die idee heeltemal laat vaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk dink dit kan gedoen word en as besigheid floreer,\u201d s\u00ea Ben, wat lank reeds robotkarretjies by die huis bou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ben s\u00ea hy was uitgeboul toe hy hoor dat hy die top-40 gehaal het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het dit glad nie verwag nie. Toe ek die oproep kry met die uitnodiging Leeuwenhof toe, het ek eers gedink, het julle die regte persoon beet? Maar, \u2018ja\u2019 het die stem aan die ander kant ges\u00ea. Ek het dadelik my ma gebel en sy het ges\u00ea ek moet bitter vinnig \u2019n suit<\/em> gaan koop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ben s\u00ea sy geheim vir sukses was balans. \u201cDit het my baie gehelp om nie oorweldig te word deur die akademie nie. Hokkie, sport en natuurlik my stokperdjie het die balans gehou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy sal volgende jaar megatroniese ingenieurswese aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch studeer. Di\u00e9 studierigting is \u2019n kombinasie van meganiese en elektriese ingenieurswese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Antheo Coetzer, skoolhoof by PHA, is supertrots op hom en opgewonde om te sien wat hy in die toekoms gaan bereik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHy is \u2019n amazing<\/em> seun en het baie hard gewerk. Hy is vriendelik en hulpvaardig en ons gaan hom baie mis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSy vaardighede in robotika het my verbaas. Hy het al die dele van sy masjiene self ontwerp en gemaak op 3D-drukkers,\u201d vertel sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alan Winde het die top-matrikulante toegespreek en uitgedaag om die toekoms te verander. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie w\u00eareld wink en jul taak is om nuwe tegnologie en innovasie die w\u00eareld in te bring om uitdagings soos klimaatsverandering en energie- volhoubaarheid aan te pak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBaie geluk en dankie dat julle ons trots gemaak het. Vat die aflosstok en verander die w\u00eareld.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hy droom al van kleintyd af om \u2019n robot te bou wat die w\u00eareld \u2019n beter plek gaan
