Roboroller - a robot on skis (rector's grant)

We’re excited to announce that the AGH Focus Scientific Association has received funding under the Rector’s Grant for the project “RoboRoller – An Autonomous Roller-Ski Robot”! The expected outcome is to build a two-legged robotic platform mounted on a pair of roller skis️, capable of independently going downhill or moving on flat terrain.

As part of the project, we plan to develop a mathematical model of the robot’s movement, equip it with vision systems for collecting and analyzing environmental data, and create a distributed control system that ensures self-stabilization and enables the robot to respond to changing conditions. This mathematical model, combined with sensor and camera data, will allow us to plan the robot’s movement, and the platform itself will become a strong foundation for expanding intelligent control systems in future projects.

Work on the project is already underway, and we’ll keep you updated on every new stage and milestone. We encourage you to follow our profiles for the latest news, insights, and materials from “RoboRoller” tests!

We’re also pleased to share that the nartorolki.pl portal has published a short article about our project – feel free to check it out!

Completion of the ArcelorMittal Poland!

We've just finished our project carried out under an ArcelorMittal Poland grant – "Demonstration of Industrial Robots Cooperation in Sorting Mechanical Parts"!

As part of the project, we primarily developed and 3D-printed dedicated grippers , implemented a YOLO-based vision system for recognizing mechanical parts (trained on hundreds of images ), and integrated everything with a Fanuc industrial robot .

During the 8th Silesian Science Festival in Katowice, we showcased our work, which drew a lot of attention. This project not only allowed us to explore and combine various technologies, but also helped us draw valuable conclusions that are already guiding us towards our next ambitious challenges!

Robo Challenge 2025

We are proud to announce that Daniel Głąbicki, Wojciech Jankowski, and Mateusz Kuc, students of Automation and Robotics from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatics, Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering at AGH University, have won FIRST PLACE in the prestigious Robo Challenge 2025 in the category for technical universities!

Robo Challenge is a competition that brings together top teams from universities, research institutes, and companies to compete in tasks related to industrial automation and robotics. Our students truly showcased their excellence!

Śląski Festwial Nauki Katowice 2024

Participating in the festival was an excellent opportunity for us to showcase the results of our work and share our passion for new technologies. We also gained valuable experience that will undoubtedly benefit us in the future.

Over the past week, we had the pleasure of presenting a cutting-edge AI-based vision system at our stand. Integrated with a gripper controlled wirelessly via a local network, the system employed a trained YOLO (You Only Look Once) model to detect objects from a prepared set in real time. The entire setup operated on the Raspberry Pi 5 platform, utilizing Python, with results displayed on a tablet for direct monitoring. Upon detecting an object, the system transmitted data to an ESP32 module over the local Wi-Fi network, which then controlled the gripper’s servomechanism, allowing for precise object handling within the camera’s range.

We are deeply grateful for the overwhelmingly positive response to our stand – it serves as great motivation for us to continue developing and pursuing new projects!

Our First Project Supported by ArcelorMittal Poland!

We are thrilled to share that our first project, "Demonstration of Robot Collaboration in Sorting Various Mechanical Parts," has received support from ArcelorMittal Poland. As part of the "Kickstart Your Club with ArcelorMittal Poland" competition, our club was awarded 12,200 PLN to bring this project to life.

According to the concept, two industrial robots will be equipped with a vision system enabling automatic detection and localization of target objects. Additionally, they will feature custom-designed grippers, allowing them to collaborate in performing tasks such as object sorting.

To stay up to date with our progress, we encourage you to follow our Facebook page. We’ll be posting updates as the project unfolds!
