Introducing ITMO University: a digest of practical work

Today we decided to prepare a thematic digest that allows you to get acquainted with the projects of the ITMO University community. Here we will talk about the development of new communication systems, robotics, semantic technologies and much more.



(↑ 22) Quantum communications: from research to technology business

A communication line that is impossible to “listen in” is protection at the expense of the laws of physics and the principles of quantum cryptography. This concept was implemented by the employees of one of the small innovative enterprises at ITMO University. In this material we talk about how this project started, what is its basis and how its work is arranged.

(↑ 10) Development of unbreakable data storage systems

The continuation of the "history" with burglar-resistant technologies. This time the main task is to introduce quantum protection systems into the work of distributed data centers.

(↑ 10) Lasers for Guidance Systems and Geodesy: Innovations from ITMO University

We talk about the principles of work and opportunities for the application of new projects. From pulsed light sources for range finders to compact laser for UAVs.

(↑ 13) How ITMO students create robots

We introduce you to the Student Design Bureau (Robotics engineering department or RED), the history of the RED project, the progress of work and the technologies used. Plus, we are talking about practical developments: a robot promoter and a multi-agent system based on Robotino.

(↑ 8) Robots and Robotics: ITMO University Digest

Our thematic selection of the latest research and development in the field of robotics. It contains publications in the journals of the ITMO University in a variety of areas: from the stabilization of two-legged robots to the introduction of augmented reality technology in manned space systems.

(↑ 12) How we help the organizers of the Confederations Cup and the 2018 World Cup

Scientists at ITMO University are working on the safety of sports events - they are engaged in modeling crowd behavior in the framework of the projects of the Institute of High-Tech Computer Technologies (NII NKT). Here we talk about why this is important, provide examples of projects and methods for collecting information for analysis.

(↑ 20) “Modeling the Future”: from predicting crowd behavior to analyzing opinions

Continuation of acquaintance with NDT projects. In this material, we talk about additional features and areas of application of algorithms developed by scientists.

(↑ 14) “Know yourself”: social media mining projects at ITMO University

Social drafts, dissemination of information, profiling in social networks and analysis of publications on Facebook and Instagram, plus the analysis of Donald Trump's Twitter profile. About all these studies and directions for further work - in our habrapost.

(↑ 10) How can big data be applied in insurance

Analytical companies predict a growth in the volume of the market for specialized software working with Big Data. And we are talking about what analytical tasks at the junction of insurance and “big data” areas are solved by projects of the ITMO University.

(↑ 9) Digest: business projects, initiatives and tips for entrepreneurs

ITMO University is interested in the development of innovative business. Dozens of events take place on our site: from thematic seminars to hackathons. In addition, we are actively working with the international community and support student initiatives. All this is our thematic digest.

(↑ 16) Neurotheatre, built using ITMO technology

We talk about the premiere of a pilot project in the neurotheatre genre, which took place at the Geek Picnic festival in St. Petersburg. Who did all this and how it works - about this in our material.

(↑ 9) Managing the "power of thought": a resident of our accelerator

Continuing the topic, we are talking about neural interfaces, a special application and a thematic project TuSion. He is a resident of the accelerator of Future Technologies ITMO University.

(↑ 10) How Semantic Technologies Improve Online Education

A little bit about how we work on improving educational platforms. We are talking about mass online courses and data analysis from thousands of students. Semantic technologies help us in this, and we present the results of research at international conferences and in the form of printed works in scientific journals.

(↑ 16) ITMO University Developments: Blockchain-Based Drone Management

How does the "drone employee", built on the basis of the platform Ethereum. A story about why the project is “ahead of its time” and a little about who else at ITMO University is exploring these areas.

(↑ 24) How technology changes the quality of life: the development of smart prostheses

How and for whom ITMO University graduates are developing prostheses and even exoskeletons. What can be proposed to improve the quality of rehabilitation, how to help blind and partially sighted people navigate in space - the answers to all these questions in our material.

(↑ 16) New power transmission system at a distance

One of the many examples of research scientists from the ITMO University. This time it's about wireless power transmission. Tests show that the efficiency of the technology reaches 90%. In this article we understand the prospects for the development of the project.
