The 15th All-Russian competition of high-cross-country robotic platforms "Robocross.Dune" was held at the "Beryozovaya Poima" training ground in the Nizhny Novgorod Region. This year, the Polytechnic University team participated for the first time. Activists from the Polytech Voltage Machine (PVM) student association of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport presented a universal tracked platform of their own design, "Object 314".
The SPbPU team included students, postgraduates and employees of the PVM design bureau. This includes project manager Gennady Zyabkin, team leader Vsevolod Gaiduk, as well as engineers: designer Alexander Kutuzov, programmer Kirill Khitushkin and researcher Anton Larionov (representative of the Scientific Research Laboratory "Industrial Systems of Streaming Data Processing").
The technological partner of Polytech Voltage Machine was the company “Scientific and Production Enterprise “Measuring Technologies SPb”, which specializes in the development of control systems for electric drives.
The Polytechnicians successfully completed all stages. They presented engineering documentation to the jury, tested the safety systems and completed the competition with complex tests on a route with various obstacles.
As a result, representatives of Polytech Voltage Machine took third place, proving the high reliability and potential of their development.
"Such events help to effectively evaluate the capabilities of the robotic platform, since the design, electronics and control system are subject to critical loads during competitions. Next year, we intend to implement autonomous control, which will allow us to use it in more difficult conditions, and become the absolute winners of the competition," said Gennady Zyabkin, a second-year master's student at the Higher School of Automation and Robotics and the head of the Object 314 project.
