Victory in the federal competition: the RTU MIREA team takes first place in the Robotization of Chemical Technologies program.
A team of employees and postgraduate students of the departments of control problems of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Chemistry and Technology of Elastomer Processing named after F.F. Koshelev of the M.V. Lomonosov Institute of Fine Chemical Technologies of RTU MIREA won first place in the Robotization of Chemical Technologies federal competitive and educational program. The event was organized by the Foundation for the Support of Innovations and Youth Initiatives of St. Petersburg, ITMO University (Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics University), MISIS (National University of Science and Technology "MISIS), InduTech and ROBOPRO.
The interdisciplinary team of RTU MIREA, consisting of Alexander Morozov, Chairman of the SSS III, Maria Shlyaptseva, head of ElastoMir scientific and educational group of the SSS ITHT named after M.V. Lomonosov, and Ilya Monakhov, assistant of the department of PU III, presented the project "Robotization of the laboratory method of manufacturing polymer-bitumen binders". The project impressed the jury members with the level of sophisctication, in-depth answers to questions and a model of the robotic process, made with the help of the manipulation robot Kuka Iiwa.
At the next stage of the competition, the team will have to develop a test laboratory stand using real chemical equipment and the robot Kuka Iiwa. We wish our colleagues successful completion of the project and new achievements!
Congratulations to the RTU MIREA team on their well-deserved success!
