Saturday, April 26 PROJECT PRESENTATION: VEX Robotics
SATURDAY, 26. 4., FROM 10 AM TO 5 PM, the demonstration will take place in Platform 2 (registration not required!)
Oliver Buček with children
Team 22500C - Wall-E is an exceptional team of young innovators who proudly represent Slovenia at international VEX IQ robotics competitions. Under the professional guidance of their mentor, M.Sc. Oliver Buček, they achieve exceptional results and rank among the best teams in the world. Their dedication, technical knowledge and innovative approach to problem solving place them at the very top of the international robotics community.
VEX IQ robotics represents an excellent platform for developing key skills of the 21st century. It allows students to practically learn STEM concepts through fun challenges, where they develop critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork skills. The advantages of VEX robotics are accessibility, modularity and a growing global community that allows young people to apply their knowledge in real-world situations.
Under the mentorship of M.Sc. Oliver Buček's Wall-E team not only master technical skills, but also the values of perseverance, collaboration and innovation. With his extensive experience and expertise, the mentor inspires young minds to push their limits and think outside the box. It is this combination of dedicated mentorship and the students' enthusiasm that is the key to their successful performance in international competitions.
DEMONSTRATION: FARMBEAST PROJECT
SATURDAY, 26. 4., FROM 10 AM TO 5 PM, the demonstration will take place in Platform 2 (no registration required!)
STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MARIBOR
The Farmbeast project is an interdisciplinary student project that combines knowledge from the fields of agriculture, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. Its main goal is to prepare students for the future by engaging in the development of advanced technologies and to stimulate their interest in the challenges of modern, digitally supported agriculture.
Working in a group, students practically upgrade the theoretical knowledge they acquire during their studies and supplement it with concrete experience and skills from various professional fields. They then use this interdisciplinary knowledge to develop or improve a small autonomous agricultural robot. They verify and upgrade their work every year by participating in the international field robot competition - Field Robot Event, where they test their solutions in practice and compare them with teams from all over the world.
The Farmbeast project has been running under the auspices of the Department of Biosystems Engineering at the Faculty of Agriculture and Biosystems Sciences of the University of Maribor since 2009. The project's topics successfully intertwine with numerous development and research initiatives, such as the ŠI.UM, ŠI.UM (NOO), PKP and ŠIPK projects, thus providing students with additional opportunities to deepen their knowledge and gain practical experience.
Last year and this year, the project continued as part of interfaculty cooperation with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Informatics and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, which further emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of the work and enriches the development of the robotic system with expert knowledge from various technical fields.
INTERACTIVE EXHIBITION: RETRO COMPUTING
SATURDAY, 26. 4., FROM 10 AM TO 5 PM, the exhibition will be held in Platform 2 (no registration required!)
retrocomp.si
Try out various fun activities, such as operating a robotic arm, exploring old computer code, drawing a robot on retro computers, and listening to music and animations from the past. There will also be a special exhibition with old computer devices, where you can see what computers looked like in the past.
