A hundred students of the Baccalaureate of Investigation of the IES from San Isidoro, Mediterranea and Isaac Peral (that form the acrostic SIMIP) expose from yesterday and until this afternoon in the School of Agronomists of the UPCT the projects that they have developed along the course, some of them supervised by professors of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena.
Among the thirty papers presented, the Autonomous Martian Research and Exploration System has been drawn to the attention of students of the IES Mediterranean to overcome the difficulties encountered by the Rovers sent by NASA.
Their devices of exploration and data collection would be dispersed over the surface of the Red Planet like a swarm, as explained in the web they have created, which includes even an illustrative animated video.
"We all want to be engineers"
He has also highlighted the robot remote control and equipped with proximity sensors and video cameras that have created students of the IES Isaac Peral tutored by the professor of the Polytechnic Juan Suardiaz and by the teacher of his institute César Almarcha.
Through Arduino miniprocessors, the robot is operated with a command that students have designed and printed in 3D.
They have designed it for isolated patients in hospitals, as a means to communicate with family, friends and other patients through a camera that transmits images and sound in real time.
"We have given the form of R2-D2 to be more friendly for children," says Eduardo Baeza, who guided the project "to use robotics in the health field", a double field in which he would like to specialize.
"We all want to be engineers," confirms his colleague Ana Isabel Raisuni.
"We would like to go to more congresses in the future," says José Antonio Tanco, who already took the robot to a meeting of young researchers in Cádiz.
Under the SIMIP program, which coordinates the Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit of the UPCT, it has the collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology - Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, the students of the Research Baccalaureate they can be supervised by UPCT professors and use the bibliographical media and the research teams of the Polytechnic.
"Seeing the work in the laboratories is very motivating to try to get there," acknowledged Tomás Bernal, a student at IES San Isidoro, who has used the genomic analysis equipment of the Institute of Plant Biotechnology to study samples of transgenic petunias.
