DEVELOPERS FROM PERM TECH CREATED A TRAINER ROBOT THAT CAN WORK IN ANY WEATHER CONDITIONS

15 June 2021 127

According to an analytical review of the global robotics market by Sberbank Robotics Laboratory in 2018, the market for service robots will amount to $ 88 million by 2022, and the number of their deliveries will reach 4,800. According to the developers, such robotic assistants will automate the processes associated with consulting people, saving companies' money, and also attract the attention of customers.

The Dobrynya robot will explain to the visitors of fitness clubs and sports grounds how to use exercise gym machines correctly, which ones are better to train certain muscles, and also tell about itself. When describing the exercise, the "assistant" will notify you of contraindications and the optimal number of approaches. The corpus and knowledge base for the dialogue system is developed for a specific site. This will improve the quality of the robot's work and the relevance of its answers.

The robot size is160 x 92 x 80 cm and it is equipped with autonomous voice recognition and synthesis systems. The "trainer's" field of view is 120 degrees, it looks at people coing close to it. Dobrynya operates on a 220 V power supply. Unlike analogs, the robot can work in any weather conditions.

The development of the dialogue system took place as part of the student's training at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences (Germany) in the framework of the double degree program. The finished system was presented at the conference and was highly appreciated by German teachers. The team has already tested the development and presented a prototype of the robot. Dobrynya took part in several events where the developers tested its ability to interact with people.

The team's partner was the Severnaya Korona company, which provided assistance in the development. According to the researchers, the product will be of interest to sports complexes and homeowners' associations for installation on sports grounds. The developers have already received the first orders for the installation of the robot.

TECHNOLOGY OF PNRPU SCIENTISTS WILL RESTORE VALUABLE ELEMENTS FROM PRODUCTION WASTE

Now more and more attention is paid to the process of restoration of nitrogen and phosphorus from industrial and agricultural waste. This is connected with the need to implement the concept of sustainable development of society, based on the circular economy. These elements are biogenic, vital for plant growth. Phosphorus reserves are limited, and the process of obtaining nitrogen is energy-consuming. Potential sources of secondary raw materials are water waste from many industries: the fertilizer industry, pharmaceutical products, semiconductor production and agriculture. The recycling of nitrogen and phosphorus allows not only to reduce the consumption of non-renewable mineral resources, but also to reduce the saturation of natural water bodies with biogenic elements, the excess of which leads to swamping of water bodies and to a decrease in the amount of drinking water. To solve this problem, PNRPU scientists have developed a new approach that has increased the efficiency of extracting ammonium (a form of nitrogen) and phosphate (a form of phosphorus) from industrial waste water to 98-99%. The traditional method does not achieve such results. Moreover, the technology of Perm scientists will make it possible to produce domestically produced long-acting fertilizer based on struvite (a phosphate mineral) and will contribute to the import substitution of foreign analogues.

THE MODEL CREATED BY PNRPU SCIENTISTS WILL PREDICT DEFECTS IN LASER POWDER SURFACING

The method of laser powder surfacing is used to restore worn-out or damaged metal parts. A powerful fiber laser creates a molten weld pool, and then metal powder is automatically fed into it. A common problem that occurs in this process is the deformation of the part, being repaired, under the action of internal stresses. This leads to a defect called warping. One of the aims of developing a technological process for the repair of parts by laser powder surfacing is the prediction of warping defects. The determination of the optimal defect-free surfacing mode for specific parts experimentally is unprofitable due to high financial and time costs and often even impossible. The researchers of the PNRPU together with JSC “UEC-Aviadvigatel” developed a mathematical model for calculating warping during laser powder surfacing to solve this problem. The scientists were able to predict with high accuracy the behavior of the part during the surfacing process thanks to numerical simulations. In the future, the development will help in choosing the optimal set of parameters for repairing parts with the most complicated parts.
