Project block
The project block program is designed to develop participants' practical skills in the design, development and optimization of engineering systems and machines. Students study modern technologies, design and analysis methods, and have the opportunity to work on real industrial cases. The course includes lectures, master classes and team projects and allows students to apply theoretical knowledge in practice. Special attention is given to the fundamentals and methods of effective project management. Participants will study the project life cycle, planning, risk assessment, teamwork organization, project execution control and project completion.
Information on project areas:
1. “Development of a “smart” transformer with a self-diagnostic function”
The information module will transmit data on current operating characteristics, environmental conditions, wear condition, etc. A work resource prediction function is possible.
2. “Development of a navigation module for UAS for surveying power transmission lines”
The UAS, with a loaded map of the transmission line and a set of marked defects, automatically performs inspections for the presence of damages (ice, breaks, cable sagging, support tilting, etc.) of individual elements of the transmission line structure (insulators, wires, supports). The module uses computer vision technologies and multi-class segmentation models.
3. “Development of a training stand for a robot manipulator”
A real industrial manipulator with a control controller allows to study the basics of industrial robotics, methods of programming and controlling a robot.
4. “Development of a dataset with images of 10 kV power transmission line damage using computer vision”
Development of a method for obtaining a data set of damages and defects under different weather conditions. The obtained samples of elements and their damages should be labeled according to the task of semantic segmentation. It is possible to implement a semi-automatic annotation process using neural networks of the YOLO family or Supervisely or LabelMe tools.
5. “Career guidance platform for future engineers”
Creation of a single platform for the exchange of information among students, graduates and future applicants. The platform will contain photographic materials and one-minute videos about the university's capabilities in various technical areas of education. Moderation of comments using AI.
6. “Development of the university interactive building maps application”
It makes it easier for freshmen to find a building, a classroom, and classmates. It contains a map of buildings, adjacent areas, and a video sequence of interiors, cafeterias. The user can view the building and the classroom in panoramic mode. It is possible to communicate with classmates through links to the map.
