Introduction Imagine that you are running a city. Every city mayor faces the challenge of receiving relevant information

about the city (for example, what and where is going on and what can be improved for the townsmen). For this

purpose, teams are suggested to create an intelligent infrastructure that will be one of the sources of

information about the state of the city. Therefore, it is important to create data generators using sensors,

cameras and transducers and connect them to the digital map of the city. This is the idea underlying the

concept of Smart City.

Task Description

The team should create an urban infrastructure (for example: monitoring urban illumination using

a drone, assessing urban soundscape using an automated robot (which follows a predetermined

path) and integrate it with a digital platform of the city. The project should be created according

to the Smart City concept and should be a single system of an intelligent city infrastructure and a

web application.

Teams should create and present a project on the given subject. Teams should design and submit

a poster layout, project description and project video prior to the competition.

During the competition, teams must go through the following stages:

✓ Final assembly and testing of the project;

✓ Preparation of the booth (placing posters, etc.);

✓ Pre-judging inspection to assess adherence to the rules;

✓ Final preparation time (ensuring that rules are adhered to);

✓ Demonstration and presentation to the judges (including Q & A from judges) and

demonstrations and presentations to the general public.

4. Project evaluation 4.1. Points scoring table

Section Criteria Max points

1. Project (Max points: 50)

1. Creativity and Quality of the Project - The project is original and it shows original approaches to the problem solving. The project is well thought out and has a realistic solution/construction.

25

2. Research & Report – The team shows that the solution reflected in the project is based on the conducted research (the formulation and confirmation of the hypothesis, rationale for the necessity of creating a solution, rationale for the way of solving the problem). The team has submitted the results of the research.

15

3. Entertainment Feature - The project attracts interest and makes you want to learn more about it.

10

2. Program (Max points: 80)

1. Programming understanding – Team members show the understanding of the work of the algorithms underlying the project as well as understanding of the principles and interaction protocols of the components with each other.

10

2. Network interaction – The project is a system of devices exchanging data with each other and/or with the server. Additional value is introduced through interaction of the systems with each other: a user or a group of users begins to benefit significantly when using this functional in comparison with using similar systems without network interaction.

20

3. Program complexity – The data in the program algorithm is not only received for the further decision-making process but also accumulated. Using accumulated data allows the system to make advanced decisions and make the process of making further decisions easier for the user.

20

4. Interactivity – Interaction with the environment is integrated into the project logically. The device retrieves data using transducers and human-machine interface and makes a decision basing on this information. The interaction is not redundant. The device is independent enough.

15

5. Good Logic – The algorithm performance is clear. The program shows appropriate use of third-party libraries and program platforms. Every technology is used not only for mentioning it.

15

3. Technical design (Max points: 65)

1. Electromechanical Understanding – Team members show the understanding of the way the electromechanical part of the project works.

20

2. Project Components Making - The project construction points to the fact that the team has created and made the electronic devices (control devices or endpoint devices – transducers, etc.) on their own and did not use turnkey industrial solutions of third-party developers. At the same time, it is allowed to manufacture printed circuit boards (if they were created by the team).

20

3. Effectiveness – Key engineering concepts (electronic components that match the tactical-technical features and take into account the peculiarity of operating the device, mechanical transmissions, leverages, weight distribution, friction reduction etc.) used in the construction of the project allow to solve the problem effectively.

10

4. Aesthetics – The project has aesthetic appeal. The team did their best to make the project look as professional as possible.

10

5. Structural Stability – The construction is stable and is able to perform the task several times without need for repairs.

5

4. Presentation

1. Successful Demonstration –The projects works as expected and there is a sense that it can work with a certain level of result repeatedly.

10

robolymp.ru 7 university.innopolis.ru

(Max points:

45) 2. Communication & Reasoning Skills – Team members are able to present their

project idea, how the project works and why they decided to make it this way. 10

3. Completeness – All decisions announced in the presentation are demonstrated. The team does not refer to unrealized functional.

10

4. Quick Thinking – Team members are able to answer questions about their project easily.

5

5. Stand decoration – Additional materials for the demonstration are neatly prepared and help to apprehend the main functional of the project.

5

6. Project Video 5

5. Teamwork (Max points: 20)

1. Unified Learning Outcome - There is evidence that team members have approximately the same level of understanding of the project.

10

2. Inclusiveness - The team is able to demonstrate that all members played an important role in the development and presentation of their project

5

3. Team Spirit – All team members show enthusiasm during the presentation and have a will to share their project with others.

5
