Self-assembling modular robotic systems are swarm robotics that allows for the assembly of different complex robotics configurations from individual modules. Creating an adaptable and capable robotics system. Such systems are applicable to unpredictable environments such as search and rescue and can further improve efficiency in the logistics industry. This project presents the design and manufacturing of such a system. Each …
A Multi-Robot Kit for Detecting Earthquake Victims in Debris
People trapped in the debris after the earthquake could not be detected in time. Rescue teams commonly use acoustic listening devices and under-debris imaging cameras, but they don’t meet the needs to detect earthquake victims, and they are difficult to reach due to their high cost. This project aims to detect earthquake victims that are stuck in debris with a …
3D printing of an object moving by hygroscopic stimulation
In this project, a complete product development process was carried out; the result is a functioning, energy-autonomous, biodegradable small robot. For this purpose, the latest results from cutting-edge research were taken into account, material behaviour was characterised, physical processes were modelled analytically and numerically, prototypes were built, and functionality was tested experimentally. The developed product, called “Hygrobot”, draws its energy …
Design of traction inverter with SiC semiconductors
The rising cost of electric energy has presented significant challenges to transportation companies. To avoid operating at a loss, this may lead to them increasing fares, reducing services or route cancellations. The propulsion system is the most important component of electric vehicles as it enables their motion. The main elements of the propulsion system are the traction motor and its …
Development and evaluation of a hybrid solar-thermoelectric power generation system in a marine environment and usage of hydrodynamic propulsion
In this study, a Hybrid-Solar-Thermoelectric with Magneto-Hydrodynamic Propulsion (HSTM) system that provides an innovative solution for sustainable energy production and eco-friendly transportation in maritime environments, is proposed. The hybrid energy harvesting system features a monocrystalline solar panel and a series of thermoelectric generator (TEG) modules enclosed within a vacuum glass dome, placed beneath the solar panel. The results demonstrate that …
Rekari – the intuitive platform for diverse drone operations
The areas of application for drones seem almost unlimited. However, when it comes to using such systems in specific use cases, there are often problems in terms of practical application. Use of the systems may be some-what less appealing if there are difficulties with operation or a lack of uncomplicated solutions, for example. It is often the case that potential …
