As you know, 2 of our professors and 5 students are currently at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University as part of an academic exchange program. On April 27, the university hosted the engineering and robotics hackathon "Recathon" in the field of robotics. The teams worked on an unusual project called "The Role of Nuclear Reactors and Animal Husbandry in Smart Greenhouses and Arctic Development.
As a task, the participants had to develop a presentation on "smart" greenhouses, which will be indispensable in Arctic conditions. During the tournament children answered the following questions:
- What are the analogues of this device?
- What should this device look like?
- What design features should it have?
- What kind of control module should the device be equipped with, and what instrumentation is needed for operation?
- What is the intended format of the device and how exactly does the user work with it?
- How much does it cost to produce a batch of 100 units?
- Further modernization and expansion of industrial greenhouses is also possible, if necessary.
In addition to growing agricultural products, it is important to study the management and development of farming, cattle breeding, fishing, creating logistical and transport routes for the development of the Arctic zone. For this purpose it is advisable to use modern robotic devices.
Task B was to develop a system of remote control of OmegaBot robot carriage to perform the following subtasks at the Arctic test site:
- Take a cow figurine and shake it with the arm;
- Barrels of herring - Drag a barrel of red herring and place it next to another barrel of red herring;
- Devise a program to automatically scare the bear when it appears in the frame.
- Collide with an obstacle - turn right or left depending on the ice block in the way.
- Parking - drive the OmegaBot to a parking spot in the specified location.
- Reactor - Take the "uranium" rod and insert it into the "reactor" core.
STX.UZ team members distinguished themselves by their unconventional solutions to all their tasks. To perform the function of a smart greenhouse, the team members programmed an android application, through which you can remotely control all the parameters of the system. Also, together with partners, two articles will be published to solve the above-mentioned tasks. It should be noted that AndMI teachers Dumakhonov Furkat and Kholmatov Oybek participated in the hackathon as a jury and evaluated projects of all participants according to several criteria. At the end of the tournament the team members were awarded certificates for active participation in the Recathon Engineering and Robotics Hackathon.
