Project Unit
The project unit program is aimed at developing students' practical skills in the field of engineering systems and machines design, development and optimization. Participants study modern technologies, design and analysis methods, and also have the opportunity to work on real industry-based cases. The course includes lectures, master classes and team projects, and allows students to apply theoretical knowledge in practice. Particular attention in the course is paid to the basics 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 projects and areas of their implementation.
1. “Development of a “smart” transformer with a self-diagnostic function”. The information module will transmit data on current operating characteristics, environmental condition, wear condition, etc. A function for predicting the working resource is possible.
2. “Development of a navigation module for UAS for surveying power transmission lines”. The UAS, with a loaded map of the power transmission line and a dataset of marked defects, automatically conducts surveys for the presence of damages (ice, breaks, cable sagging, tilt of supports, 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 one 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 dataset of damage and defects under various weather conditions. The obtained samples of elements and their damage should be labeled in accordance with 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 university students, graduates and future applicants. The platform will contain photographic materials and minute-long videos about the university's capabilities in various technical areas of training. 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 territories, and a video sequence of interior spaces, food outlets. The user has the opportunity to view the building and the classroom in panorama mode. It is possible to communicate with classmates by means of the links to the map.
