Registration is required for the Open Door Day and seating is limited. The program in both buildings will start at 8:30.
At CTU FEL, there are seven programmes to choose from at the bachelor's level (in Czech Language) - Open Computer Science, Cybernetics and Robotics, Software Engineering and Technology, Electrical Engineering, Power engineering and Management, Medical Electronics and bioinformatics, Electronics and Communications and Open Informatics.
In Dejvice, on the so-called green route, visitors will get a glimpse into the study of energy, electrical engineering, electronics, bioinformatics and economics. This year's "novelty" will be an excursion to the Laboratory of Environmental Electrical Engineering and Economics (LEEE). The head of the laboratory, Dr. Jan Mikeš, and the head of the Department of Economics, Management and Humanities, Prof. Jaroslav Knápek, under which the laboratory falls, described that the LEEE deals with the measurement and modelling of lightning discharges, their detection in the atmosphere, protection against them, but also the application of electrical discharges in electrical engineering and ecology or environmental measurements. At this post, high school students will also learn about the possibility of studying economics at FEL.
When technology connects with art or medicine
Along the green route, people will also visit the quietest place in Prague, the anechoic acoustic chamber used for teaching and research, or the workshop of the eForce student team. Its members have developed an autonomous electric formula car, which they race on European tracks, and manage the entire development project themselves. Also on the agenda is a visit to the spectacular High Voltage Laboratory, the Intermedia Institute, which bridges technical and artistic disciplines, and a station focused on electric drives and 3D printing.
The yellow Dejvice route will then lead through the AV studio, where experts from FEL will introduce the study of multimedia technologies to those interested. They will also have a look into virtual reality, laboratories for research and application of next-generation networks and the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as a laboratory where an expert team from FEL will present the development and study of sensors, applications of microcontrollers and robots and technologies for the aerospace industry.
"We are planning a showcase of interesting sensor technologies and measurement systems developed within the framework of industrial cooperation and academic research, including bachelor and master theses covering related topics. We will also present the teaching of Robots or Sensors and Measurements, as well as software used in teaching developed by our students," described Dr. Vojtěch Petrucha from the Department of Measurement at FEL. In the Laboratory of Biomedical Technologies, Dr. Radek Janča and his colleagues will show how electronics and computer science can contribute to the treatment of human diseases - through the development of advanced medical devices, the use of computer algorithms and AI in medicine.
Moving on to robots and graphics
The post at Charles Square is aimed primarily at students who are considering studying computer science or cybernetics. On the red route there will be demonstrations of drones, which the Multirobotic Systems group is working on, as well as research results in the field of autonomous driving. Visitors will also get to know the walking robots that scientists at the FELU are developing. "We'll have the SPOT robodog on site, which will also be collecting objects - a capability programmed into it by one of our students," described Dr Martin Pecka from the Department of Cybernetics
The programme of the blue route will also be full and varied. "In the VRlab virtual reality laboratory, we will show student works with gaming themes created in undergraduate and graduate courses," said Dr. David Sedláček from the Department of Computer Graphics and Interaction. "Primarily, these are the best game projects of the internal game team competition, where we showcase the wide portfolio of game genres that students create. We also showcase selected VR escape rooms, including a custom-made ISS escape project. Last but not least, we will show augmented reality applications, HW lab equipment and introduce the student game studio oiSIDE," described the scientist.
For the first time during the Open Doors Day, the team of doc. Giorgos Tolias, who works in the visual recognition research group. Doc. Tolias is studying, for example, the possibilities of state-of-the-art techniques for designing and learning universal models to recognize, compare and retrieve different objects. Tolias' talk will be in English.
The Hexapod habitat will then introduce planning and movement patterns for multi-legged walking platforms, and here too, the SPOT robodog will be in action - this time in the role of explorer and rescuer. Demonstrations of the Monster Mash system, developed by the FEL research team in collaboration with Google, are also planned. Monster Mash allows even laymen to create animated 3D models using hand-drawn sketches.
Both at Charles Square and in Dejvice, participants will have the opportunity to talk to FEL students about everything related to individual programmes, dormitory living and other aspects of student life.
