In October, as part of the international festival Robofinist, the hackathon “StarLine Unmanned” was held, bringing together teams from all over Russia. Polytechnic was represented by two teams from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport of SPbPU – “Turtleboys” and “Just robotics”.
The hackathon’s objective was to develop a system for autonomously rescuing a robot from a labyrinth. Participants were provided with two robots: a “rescuer” equipped with a lidar and a depth camera, and a “rescued” robot equipped only with encoder odometry.
The Turtleboys team consists of first-year Master’s students of the Higher School of Automation and Robotics Egor Pykhalov, Ivan Shevtsov, Georgy Kazantsev and IMMIT 2024 graduate Sergey Zemsky. The team demonstrated impressive results and took second place, just short of the championship.
There wasn’t enough time to fully debug the solution on real robots, but victory was so close, the guys shared.
The team would like to thank the Polytech Tower for providing equipment that helped prepare for the hackathon.
“Just robotics” are first-year master’s students of the Higher School of Architecture and Rural Affairs (HSAR) Vladislav Malykhin, Anton Tyurin and this year’s graduate of the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy (IMMT) Artem Kondratyev. They also demonstrated a high level of preparation and creativity.
The StarLine Unmanned Hackathon has become an excellent platform for showcasing talent and sharing experiences among young specialists in the field of robotics.
