FPiDroid House
Petru Maior University, Tg-Mures, Romania
Keep close to me
Debrecen University, Hungary
A robot controller which is able to make decisions based on it’s own environment. It discovers the area and build a database from the surrounding areas where it can access. It is able to find the shortest path to any location in the area (after the mapping process) .It continuously collects information about the changes of its environment, so always it can take the best decision.
Gesture detection based controlling device
Gheorghe Asachi University, Iasi, Romania
mARM
Technical University of Cluj Napoca, North University Center Baia Mare, Romania
The Intelligent Arm has 4 axes of freedom thanks to the parallel-mechanism, which was inspired by ABB PalletPack. Arduino UNO will control the robot’s movements on those 4 axes with the help of 5 servo motors, 3 servo motors will be at the base of the arm which will control the rotation of its own axis and the movement on the axe X of the arm, and the 2 micro Servos will be implemented on the tip of the Intelligent Arm in order to be able to catch and spin objects
Health and Security Cloud System
Gheorghe Asachi University, Iasi, Romania
Spy Rover
Technical University of Cluj Napoca, North University Center Baia Mare, Romania
Spy Rover is a warning system combined with an obstacle detection and collision feature. It was implemented and tested. It features an GoPro camera mounted on the top for retrieving videos. The communication between the camera and the computer is realized using the free Android application, IP Webcam, together with a virtual camera application.
Watt-a-save
Gheorghe Asachi University, Iasi, Romania
This project tackles the problem of frivolous power consumption in a household, acting like a smart switch that can be controlled wirelessly.
This system can be set up to work for different applications related to home automation, such as smart lighting, presence detection, heating control, that is why we want to make the best out of all its features.
DAQopter
Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania
A data acquisition and monitoring system for a wide range of signals: video, distance measuring, temperature measuring, GPStracking, collected in various environments via a hexacopter drone which is controlled over the wireless using the Digilent chipkit Wi-FIRE board and an Android device for overall system control and mobility.
Domotic Remote-Assistance device
University of Cagliari, Italy
Virtual touch screen with Zybo
University of Novi Sad, Serbia
The idea of this project is to emulate touch screen using regular TFT monitor and USB Web camera. Basically, if you point a camera to capture the image on the screen, with the detection software you can track a moving object, in this case a finger, extract its coordinates and pass it to a desired application
AssistGlove
National Technical University of Athens, Greece
A patient aid device. For patients not able to walk and speak but only move their hand, AssistGlove will translate hand movement into commands through a simple user interface. These commands will be synthesized voice commands that the patient will select with simple hand movements and address a nearby help agent to provide the necessary and required items to the patient
Speedometer
Politechnics of Timisoara, Romania
The main feature of this project is the indicator which executes rotating moves in order to indicate the speed of the device. The indicator and the background image are both memorized in internal RAM of the FPGA. Therefore any image that complies with the resolution of the LCD may be displayed on the LCD.
Globe of persistence of vision
Telecom Bretagne, France
The aim of the project is to show a new way of using the concept of the persistence of vision in a context very distant from the movie, even if it is still used to show pictures or videos. However the concept of the persistence of vision is not only used to create an impression of fluidity of a movement on a screen by displaying very quickly images one after another (twenty four images by second for a
movie) but also to create the illusion of a 3D object
