Golf Robot

My wife Victoria with my support created a robot based on the LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0. The robot was presented at the exhibition-exhibition "Physical Modeling and Robotics". An alternative goal is to show students the ease of creating robots based on the LEGO Mindstorms constructor.
Tasks of the robot:
1. Drive to the ball (the ultrasonic sensor determines the distance).
2. Analyze the color of the ball with a color sensor and hit the ball in case the color of the ball is in the specified range.
3. Drive off and turn 90 degrees.

Leaving ViTec Co., Ltd

 Unfortunately, after certain political events, the decision was made to move forward. I am immensely grateful to the company ViTec Co., Ltd for the opportunity and to my colleagues for their support. I am especially thankful to the owner and director, Maxim Soroka, for everything he has done for me. At the company, I worked with machine vision. Since I signed a non-disclosure agreement, I can only share a couple of photos. It was a wonderful experience, and I will never forget it.

The thermostat in the boiler room

The complex performs automatic control of the boiler houses network  with the ability to monitor and adjust the algorithm through the global network. Consists from hardware and software parts. Includes a thermostat in the boiler room and a manager. Thermostat in the boiler room Hardware: The controller is a PC / 104 processor board (2xRS232, LPT, IDE, Ethernet, VGA, keyboard, mouse). ROM - IDE M-Systems 256 Mb flash disk. Sensors - case external temperature sensor (-40:+30°С); contact feed sensor (-5:+100°С), contact sensor of return water (-5:+100°С); Cabinet temperature sensor in the room (-5:+10°C). All sensors are built on thermistors. Analog input - self-made device (4 analog inputs 8kHz -> RS232, galvanic isolation). Discrete output - self-made device (Parallel port -> 8 relays); Power supply, housing, a set of connecting wires. Optionally - a CDMA modem with a directional antenna, a radio modem, a GSM modem, a wired telephone modem. Software : Window...
