An exhibition area meant to offer a glimpse of the future. Come to the village to interact with autonomous robots, gadgets and demos of innovative technologies, developed as academic projects or as real life applications.
Thanks to enthusiastic students, in the playground you will be able to see line-followers and sumo robots, showing off their skills.
Make sure to stop by the companies’ booths on the ground floor and check out what they have prepared for you. Get in touch and find out more. Also, it can never hurt to bring along your resume.
Grab a snack in the food court (ground floor) and relax for a while in the chillout corner (first floor). There you can admire a nice exhibition of parametric architecture.
Among the highlights from AI-MAS Village we have:
The TOMIS Project
Using Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality techniques, the TOMIS Project brings back to life the world of the roman city of Tomis, between 46 A.D. and 610 A.D. The project uses history, geology, biology and archeology information to achieve the reconstruction of not only the artifact specific to the period, but also the representation of a virtual society characteristic to a specific historical period.
Authors: CERVA, (University “Ovidius” of Constanta)
HapticArtifact
An experiment that adds a new dimension to the user’s virtual reality experience by offering tactile information in real time. Such a dimension will allow the user to better understand and experience the visual artifacts.
Authors: CERVA, (University “Ovidius” of Constanta)
Tile-R
Need help laying you floor tiling? The Tile-R autonomous robot is the perfect helper. Once started, the robot searches for the nearest wall, aligning itself to it, and starts laying tiles, one by one, row after row, until it has covered all the surface which it can access.
Authors: Marius Muntianu, Cristina Marc, Tamas Wagner, Reka Nagy (University “Babes-Bolyai” of Cluj-Napoca)
SwimGreen
In a world with polluted waters, the SwimGreen autonomous robot brings an innovative solution. The robot-ship moves on the surface of water in search of plastic waste to collect. The robot uses Bluetooth connection for communication, and to exchange information about the closest area of plastic waste in the vicinity.
Authors: LauraMuresan, Ligia Arghir, Vlad Ciobancai (University “Babes-Bolyai” of Cluj-Napoca)
IMark
IMark is an autonomous robot that can distinguish between different road signs in order to mark road lines. The robot also has a visual interface, both for observing and controlling the lines traced by the robot when necessary.
Authors:Iulia Comşa, Florin Pogocsan, Alina Călin (University “Babes-Bolyai” of Cluj-Napoca)
The Detection and Analysis of the Interaction with Real Objects Using Hand Gesture Recognition
A research project that covers algorithms for static and dynamic hand gesture recognition following at the same time the process of recording and preprocessing the data using a 5DT Ultra Glove with 14 sensors. The main goal was to determine whether an individual’s actions can be correctly identified from the perspective of the action itself(as a dynamic gesture), of the manipulated object(shape,size) or the user himself(identity).
