The ITMO Youth Robotics Lab team project won first place in the RobotChallenge 2023 international robotics competition in Beijing, ITMO’s press center said. Robot Robert Robotecky performed “Katyusha” and a few other songs while he was balancing on a hoverboard.
The Russian robotics project became the best in the Free Style Senior category. A freshman, Dmitry Yakovlev, and a 10th-grader, Daria Yablunina, worked on it. In addition to “Katyusha”, Robert Robotecky performed “Moscow Evenings”, “Under the Sky of Paris”, as well as Finnish polka.
Now the team is working on the creation of the so-called Cybertheater, a system that allows combining and synchronizing the actions of all the robots that were created in the laboratory.
Also on the team’s list of plans is improving the automatic optimization of MIDI files, this format has already been trained by the lab’s robots.
Previously, an ITMO PhD student developed a prosthesis simulator for rehabilitation after stroke and restoration of muscle activity in cerebral palsy, which can be used at home.
