Strokes or physical disabilities often end up in a Locked-in syndrome. Mostly only the blinking of the eyelids is still functional. In order to enable communication with the environment, a table system that can be controlled by blinking has been developed. The EyeSpeaker records the blink movements of a patient with the help of a camera. A program based on...

The French military radar GRAVES emits electromagnetic waves consistently at a frequency of 143.05MHz. These waves propagate in the air and are reflected by electrically conductive objects. If the object is moving, the frequency of the reflected wave will change. This effect is known as the Doppler shift. The reflected waves were received by an antenna positioned on the roof...

Every day in Russia, about three hundred people get lost, and the percentage of the rescued is not so high. At the moment, special teams of the Ministry of emergency situations and volunteer formations are searching for people. Unmanned aerial vehicles are often involved in the rescue process, as this is a fairly promising area of technology development at the...

Our paper presents the study of cellular structures with the purpose of creating microactuators, some of which have applications in medicine. The microactuators were developed after studying various cellular structures ranging from the F1Fo ATP synthase to the sporangium of the Polypodium aureum fern. The geometrical parameters of the sporangium have been used along with additional data to develop diverse...

The project covers the topic of automatic sorting, and in order to showcase this in a useful real-world application we have chosen to direct our attention towards building a self-sorting recycling bin that can help solve the problem of waste-pollution. Here the idea is to use a Machine Learning algorithm analyzing sound in order to distinguish and thereby sort waste...

This project in the field of robotics demonstrates the application of a neural network that uses the sinusoidal activation function for the task of perturbed walking. The usage of such networks is analysed. Furthermore, the most common local minima and the methods of resolving them are presented. The small number of neurons allows the network to be deployed on a...
