Intelligent House & Innovative Products of ASU Surprise People of Astrakhan

The Zvezdny Sports Complex has hosted the 9th Specialized Exhibition “Education as Investment into Success”. Our University has presented a number of its innovative developments, thus having fully renewed its exposition concept.

As usual, ASU has presented a rich and versatile exposition. The event guests could take various psychological tests prepared by staff of our Basic Chair of Applied Psychology that operates at the Rehabilitation Center for Children & Teenagers with Special Needs “Correction & Health”. According to Ms. Yulia Denikina, a staff member of the Chair, it was the test to reveal the dominating cerebral hemisphere that was the most popular one among the public. Anyway, visitors often wished to reveal their IQ levels by taking an associative test.

Robotic developments of our University have been of profound interest. ASU’s Center of Viable Technologies in Electronics & Robotics has demonstrated four projects. These are: the SMART-MK intelligent house; a model bracelet for people with special needs; a crawling defectoscope for pipelines; an unmanned pleasure boat that orients by means of geographical location. It is interesting that the computer of the intelligent house developed by our young scientists perceives only the name “Jessica”. According to Alexander Savkin from the Center of Electronics & Robotics, it was done to prevent its voice sensor from executing random commands. Jessica the Computer can turn lights on and off; it can lock and unlock the entrance door or activate the floor heating. But that is only the beginning of the project; Jessica will soon be able to do much more things.

Students and faculty of the Department of Service Technologies of the Technical College of ASU treated everyone with healthy food. Drinks with a low concentration of sugar and baked goods enriched with vitamins have been especially popular among the public.
