The Fourth Conference of Associations in the School of Industrialists of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) has gathered this morning dozens of technological creations developed, to a large extent, by the students themselves.
Some as striking as the digital signal processing modulator with which Luis Manuel Pan Pérez-Villalobos has integrated up to eight effects of electric guitar pedal into a device with remote control.
"The effects can be programmed to measure of the guitarist", clarifies the student of Industrial Technologies.
"I wanted to do a final grade job that I could use, that I could take home and what I felt proud of," he says.
Good accompaniment for the guitar could have been the clicking of the robotic hand that the student of Industriales Joaquín Carrasco Palazón has programmed to reproduce the movements of a human hand captured by an e-motion device.
"The software processes the images and assigns the motions to the motors that, through belts that emulate our tendons, move our fingers," details this new mechanical engineer.
Another student who has exhibited today a final project of studies has been Miguel Riquelme García, who has completed his master's degree in Industrial Engineering with a remote control aircraft that has designed, modeled and printed in 3D.
"It's fast and very compact," says the author of the paper.
In addition to the competition vehicles manufactured by UPCT Racing Team, Moto UPCT and UPCT Solar Team, a motorcycle has also been exhibited, with which researchers from the Polytechnic have verified empirically that the hydrogen-generating electrolyzers do not increase the power or reduce Fuel consumption.
Other associations and student groups, such as the Drone Team and the Sirena team that is creating a solar submarine robot, have participated in the day.
Companies that are developing technological products and services have also been in contact with the UPCT.
This is the case of Nido Robotics, a company from Murcia that is customizing and building robots for underwater inspections.
The student of the Master of Industrial Engineering Enrique González, a former member of the Sirena team, has joined the company to develop and commercialize these marine drones that "can save a lot of time and work to divers, making quick sweeps with cameras and sensors" Indicates the student.
Orientation robots and t-shirts
Running along the patio of the School of Industrial was during all the day the robot caterpillar that has manufactured the association UPCT Makers, prepared to intervene in case of catastrophes like earthquakes and that has a robotic arm that the user can control at a distance with his Replica in miniature.
"We have done it from scratch and we have printed many of the pieces," explains José Antonio Jiménez Viuda.
The makers of the Polytechnic have also presented another robot remote control for industrial use and a spider equipped with laser pointer and launcher of elastic rubber for information purposes.
The UPCT branch of the IEEE engineers association, which has presented several of the devices they have developed, has not missed the appointment either.
Among them, a t-shirt with built-in compass and with the design of the whale tail of the sculptor Fernando Saénz de Elorrieta that shines in the Port of Cartagena.
"The whale symbolizes orientation," said the artist, who will collaborate with IEEE-UPCT on other projects that combine technology and art.
The fair has been one more year with the presence of members of the Acrobatic Air Force Patrol (Eagle Patrol) and Airbus Defense & Space has also been present, exhibiting the official model of the launcher Ariane 5 and the satellite SMOS (Satellite of Humidity and Salinity in the Oceans).
Another incentive of this open day has been the deposits of satellite fuel that appeared in Calasparra and were analyzed in the microscopes laboratories of the UPCT.
