More than ten thousand visitors could see, for example, a convoy of intelligent racing cars equipped by CTU students with advanced technology to research the behavior of autonomous car columns and tests of so-called cooperative adaptive cruise control. Next in line was a booth called Circus by the Department of Control Engineering of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, an exhibition of four visually interesting models with names Eggstatic, a ball in the hoop, a Magman and a Christmas tree that presented concepts of automatic control in an entertaining way. A car model with drive-by-wire controls was also on display, refined by two electric motors on the rear axle, special electronics and control software that can redistribute torque. The CTU team, which won an international competition this year in Portugal, introduced the autonomous Formula F1 / 10, a model of autonomous electric scooter on a scale of 1:10.
The 3D Farmer was also introduced, a student project demonstrating the ability to automatically modify workdesks of 3D printers at print farms. The robotic LEGO player on the electronic piano took care of the musical background. Visitors were also attracted by projects of the Department of Measurement of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering - an exhibition of six creative student models, such as a laser image burner or magnetic levitation. Ultrasound manipulation demonstration was also of great interest as well as the wITches girl group from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, dedicated to organizing workshops where children could learn basics of programming, electronics and robotics. Maker Faire was also destination for the eForce student team with their electric formula.
