Robotics Course at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering - basics of Arduino programming and motor control

The CTU Summer School will begin with four exciting days of studying robotics with Dr. Martin Novák, associate professor in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. You will start with the basics of Arduino programming, the use of sensors, and motor control. Then you will learn about display control and how to make your PC communicate with the robot. The next day you will start individual hands-on projects (with guidance from Prof. Novák) to make your robot come alive, make it move, drive, dance or whatever you choose as your goal! On the final day you will complete your project and demonstrate your very own operating robot to the class.

Computer Aided Design and 3D Modeling Course at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Day 1 - Basics of CAD modelling, (Group A – 20 students)

On day one of this module you will learn the basics of Computer Aided Design (Cad) modelling and 3D modelling, then create your own 3D models.


Tour of the Centre of Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering – morning (Group B - 20 students)

Go on a guided tour of the Centre of Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility in Roztoky u Prahy. One part of laboratory in Roztoky serves as homologaton emission laboratory. This cylindrical brake and its usage will be the main point of the visit. Further will be shown the internal combustion engine test cells, including the experimental single cylinder engine. Unique equipment is the injection laboratory. The transmission laboratory dedicated for experiments with passenger car gearboxes will be also included in the laboratory tour.


Presentation of Human Factors and Subjective Testing Methods at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering – afternoon (Group B – 20 students)

In this session you will learn about new methods for subjective testing which are used to optimize human-computer interaction. Particular attention will be devoted to parallel-task testing which mimics cases of standard use of the tested devices. The balance between parallel-task authenticity and laboratory test repeatability will be discussed. Finally you will learn about some exciting counter-intuitive results, including EEG measurements of the tested subjects.

Wednesday, July 8

Computer Aided Design and 3D Modeling Course at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Day 2 - Rendering of animations (Group A – 20 students)

On day two you will learn to how to make assemblies and parts of drawing, then you will render animations.


Parcial Physics Presentation, Tour of the Tokamak GOLEM at the Faculty of Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering (Group B - 20 students)

During this one-day program at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering you will experience the essential ways that nuclear sciences contribute to cutting edge research and technology. First we will present the CERN accelerator complex along with an introduction to particle detection. We will also describe recent discoveries, open questions and applications. Then we will have a short introduction to fusion physics, the physical principles of tokamacs, nuclear fusion reactor ITER and DEMO fusion power plant. This will be followed by a visit to the university tokamak GOLEM. The session will conclude with hands-on physics experiments or a visit to the nuclear chemistry research laboratories with a discussion of the research performed there.

Thursday, July 9

Practical Aviation Course and Flight Simulator Experience at the Faculty of Transportation Sciences

During this session you will get a summary of air navigation, including takeoff and landing procedures, and the fundamentals of airport operations. You will get to practice your skills on a flight simulator and get a practical evaluation of your flying abilities.

Presentation on the Measurements of Haemodynamic Parameters at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering – in groups of 20 students

Cardiovascular diseases are well known as one of the leading causes of death in developed countries, and there is an emerging need for integrated, non-invasive, and easy-to-use clinical tools to accurately assess the cardiovascular system. During this presentation you will learn about the current problems of clinical blood pressure measurement and to discuss limits of home blood pressure measuring devices. Following the presentation, you will be able to measure your own biological signals using various medical technologies (ECG, PPG, breathing monitors, etc.). You will learn to implement algorithm targets for signal filtering, detection of peaks in the signals, and identification of physiological relationships.

Tuesday, July 14
