A project by students from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport at SPbPU won a grant competition from the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh). The initiative, "Creating an Advanced Educational Course: Robotics and Chemistry—At the Crossroads of Two Sciences," received support in the second season of the Rosmolodezh.Grants competition. 978,000 rubles were allocated for the project.
The project will be developed and implemented at the IMMiT, in the Department of Applied Chemistry, and at the Scientific and Educational Center "Nanotechnology and Coatings."
The project was led by Mikhail Udovichenko, a first-year master's student at the Higher School of Physics and Technology. The project team included Tatyana Sedegova (first-year master's student at the Higher School of Physics and Technology), Nikita Dybin (fourth-year at the Higher School of Physics and Technology), Artem Tereshkov (third-year at the Higher School of Architecture and Radioelectronics), and Polina Sorokina (third-year at the Institute of Biological, Social, and Biological Sciences). The entire team is a member of the ChemTeam student chemistry association. The project mentors were Alexander Semencha, Head of the Department of Applied Chemistry and Director of the Nanotechnology and Coatings Research Center, and Viktor Klinkov, a research fellow at the Nanotechnology and Coatings Research Center.
The project's main goal is to develop professional competencies in the development of robotic systems for the chemical industry among students from SPbPU and other relevant universities, as well as schoolchildren from St. Petersburg. The training program includes mastering new technologies, from the use of artificial intelligence and programming in the chemical industry to practical work in the REC laboratory.
The project will result in the creation of a unique curriculum and teaching materials, as well as a course pilot, during which participants, together with experienced mentors, will present innovative solutions for the chemical industry.
The implementation of this initiative will engage talented young people in the research activities of the Nanotechnology and Coatings Research and Education Center and train specialists in priority areas of scientific and technological development.
