As part of his development and research, Michal Adamík developed a unique application of robotic drawings. The robot is able to create precise shades with graphite solid using genetic algorithms. Images can be purchased through the Digital Innovation Hub Science City – https://www.dih.stuba.sk/?page_id=329

Results of the IZVAR project

Feb 23, 2022 |

Members of the National Centre of Robotics actively participated in the implementation of the IZVAR project with company VÚEZ a.s. The result of the project is a highly adaptive robotic welding cell, which can also be used in small-batch and highly variable production. The whole concept, therefore, implements the transition from “low mix / high … read more

Robotic engraving of any shape

Jan 12, 2022 |

As part of the results of the IZVAR project, a solution was created in our laboratories enabling engraving of any shape, inscription, or image on any product. Of course, the solution is limited by the physical capabilities of the engraving machine. However, it allows use in full 3D space. You can find more details about … read more

Crane control and students’ work

Dec 9, 2021 |

Most members of the National Centre of Robotics work as teachers at universities. It is also possible to explain the control principles in systems other than the robot. One such system is a crane. NCR member Ľuboš Chovanec presents such control to students at the time of COVID in an entertaining way. More in the … read more

Robot drawing using genetic algorithms

Nov 9, 2021 |

As part of his dissertation, Michal Adamík led research focused on the use of machine learning technologies in robot control. His team used genetic algorithms to optimize robot control. The application itself is focused on the use of the robotic arm in the creation of artistic images. More in the video below.
