The CASE-IN champion became the winner of the My Country — My Russia contest

Student NUST MISIS Yaroslav Glatko (5th year of the Mining Institute) became one of the winners of the competition "My country is my Russia" in the nomination "Great technological exploration of my country".

Yaroslav presented a project developed together with a team of NUST MISIS students to create a MARK autonomous robotic surveying complex designed to automate surveying. The contest "My Country is my Russia" is being implemented within the framework of the federal project "Social Elevators for Everyone" of the national project "Education".

Yaroslav Glatko participates in the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" for three consecutive seasons. His highest achievement is the victory in the Mining field in 2021. A year earlier, a talented student and his team won bronze medals.

The surveyor is the "navigator" of the mine, who must know the spatial position of the mine workings. The effective working day of a surveyor consists of shooting in the first half of the day and camera processing in the second. However, with the current level of equipment, specialists are not always able to take pictures in the first half of the day, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the surveying service. To solve the problem, the students of NUST MISIS proposed using the MARK autonomous robotic surveying complex, which reduces by 4 times the time needed to photograph and create a 3D model of the mine by simultaneously fixing target cubes in the mine space with lidar - an optical measuring device. The shooting speed is more than 300 thousand points per second. In addition, by using special target cubes, the students' development will allow them to develop a polygonometric course in parallel with the survey, that is, a system of points in the mine with known coordinates.

"A year ago, we became the winners of the interdisciplinary grant competition "Tournament". This year, we have studied the problem much more deeply and created the undercarriage of a robotic installation. The next stage in the implementation of the project will be to conduct research and determine the optimal size of the target cubes.", — said Yaroslav Glatko, the leader of the scientific group, a fifth-year student of the Mining Institute of NUST MISIS.

The MARK autonomous robotic surveying complex was developed by a team of students from NUST MISIS Commune. Its participants are Yaroslav Glatko, Roman Sultimov, Georgy Bondar, Seyfula Buttaev, Danila Yudin, Maxim Malykh, Alexander Vasiliev, Yaroslav Saveliev.

The All—Russian educational project "My Country is my Russia" is aimed at attracting young people to address issues of socio-economic development of Russian regions. A total of 29 teams representing 20 regions of Russia qualified for the finals this year. All participants received feedback and recommendations from experts on the further implementation of their projects, and the winners will be able to participate and finalize their ideas in the Bolshaya Razvedka innovation project accelerator program.

"1,852 young people from 47 regions of Russia took part in the correspondence stage of the nomination "Great Technological Intelligence of my country". Today, the finalists are the authors of the most striking initiatives, each of which represents a technological project ready for implementation. Our task is to ensure that the contestants have the opportunity to transform an idea into a real product that is in demand in the modern technology market.", — said the Director General of ANO "Russia is a land of opportunities", co—chairman of the organizing committee of the All—Russian contest "My Country is my Russia" Alexey Komissarov.
