Students of Tomsk Polytechnic will study robotics on Promobot robots

2021: Introduction of Promobot robotic complex in the training process

April 15, 2021 RUSNANO announced that students Tomsk Polytechnic University will study at robotics. robots Promobot

The educational complex was developed by Promobot - a project of the Far Eastern High Technology Fund - specifically for Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU).

The educational complex consists of a Promobot V.4 robot and ten Promobot Robox sets at once. The equipment is designed for the department of robotics and automation of TPU.

Promobot is a good example of a domestic robotic product that is used in different countries of the world. This robot and sets of components for it will be used in the educational process for students of all courses, depending on the task. Future mechatronics, automation and metrology specialists will work with them. In practice, they will study the programming of robotic systems, sensors, aspects of the use of robots indoors and the interaction of the robot with humans, as well as general concepts and principles related to the management of complex technical systems, "says Andrei Yakovlev, acting rector of Tomsk Polytechnic.

The Promobot V.4 robot is a service robot for working in crowded places. The robot can work as a consultant, administrator, guide or airport employee. On the basis of the promobot, TPU students will study both programming and electronics and mechatronics. The Robox set consists of an interface board, a distance sensor, a servo motor, and software. The difference from other educational products is that the domestic Promobot Robox consists of components of a "real robot" used in 40 countries of the world, and not toy or virtual models.

This may seem obvious, but robotics are important to study on "real" robots. We provide students with a case: a Russian robot, exact copies of which for April 2021 work around the world - from the USA to Australia. Any successful solution can get from the university laboratory directly to our developers, and then appear on the robot, say, at the American airport, "comments Promobot Development Director Oleg Kivokurtsev.

Students of the engineering school of information technology and robotics of TPU will learn how to create and program robots that will help people in performing various tasks: from processing requests in banks to delivering cargo. To do this, students will get acquainted with the technologies of robot control, facial recognition, scenarios of communication between people and robots, human-machine interaction tools using the example of the latest Promobot model. The program provides for 6 laboratory works.
