The º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ (º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½) participated as a main sponsor in the first Kuwait Electric Road Show that took place at Murooj on December 2, 3, and 4.
Titled “Green Kuwait”, the main purpose behind the event is to support cleaner energy and reduce carbon emissions by spreading awareness about the new electric and hybrid vehicles available in Kuwait.
º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Spokesperson and Executive Manager, Massar Bineid, announced to the media during the event: “We are present at the Electric Vehicles Show in Al-Morouj to support innovative projects related to alternative energy and renewable energy, as the implementation of such projects is beneficial for sustainable development, the economy, and the environment. At º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½, we embrace this approach as we integrate sustainability into all activities, especially teaching, academic research, and students’ projects and activities.”
“We also took this opportunity to highlight graduation projects done by our students that are related to the theme of the show and innovation at large. It is also worth noting that we have a second booth located at the entrance that is solar-powered.” She added.
º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ students were present at the event in their dedicated booth where they interacted with visitors and showcased graduation projects related to sustainable development and alternative and renewable energy. An example of the projects that were displayed during the event are highlighted hereunder:
WifiBot lane detection algorithm
This project demonstrates a Self-Driving Lane Detection technique. It uses Image Processing to detect the appropriate features of a road and estimates the curve present on this road. This curve value can be used to steer the vehicle in the correct direction.
Long-range Communication with Drone
The project is about using an industrial scale aerial-drone for long-range communication capability for data transfer in search and rescue operations in an environment without GPS communication. The drone will also be installed with a soft-gripping mechanism, which is used to collect samples.
Small Solar Cars
Small scale solar rovers that run using solar power in a designed track.
Balloon based small satellites network for secure communication
This project proposes a cost-efficient solution to link areas with limited coverage to existing communication networks. The idea is to use a network of balloon-based small cube satellites that enable the transfer of communication signals from one point to another point in a secure way.
Bionic Arm for Amputee Cases
A customizable wearable robust 3D printed bionic arm has been designed and implemented for a right arm amputee case. The hand is controlled using Electromyography signals (Muscles Sensors). An artificial Intelligent algorithm is used to precisely control hand actions.
Super Anthony Fighter Robot
Two manual controlled super Anthony robots that allow users to experience controlling a humanoid robot in a sumo match.
