Joint Advanced
Student School 2018

Saint-Petersburg, Russia

JASS (Joint Advanced Student School) is an annual Russian-German initiative to teach about emerging technologies using project-driven software development. The school is a place where students and professors from different countries gather for short-term, project-oriented, project-driven education in international teams. In five days, each team of students creates and delivers a finished project. The topics typically studied include mobile devices, the Internet of Things, industrial applications, autonomous mobile robotics and transportation, and virtual reality.

School Topic 2018

Multi Modal Transport Technology Challenge

Urban population grows at a much higher rate than transportation infrastructure, and yet people continue to mostly use cars for their trips. Multimodal transportation provides an approach to use a combination of existing infrastructure and modes of transportation that help complete all the different segments of a trip. The big drawback for multimodal transportation, on the other hand, is the time lost when changing transportation modes.

As with any trip, there are different criteria which can be taken into consideration when evaluating a selected route. The goal of this project is to evaluate how multimodal transport compares against single mode in respect to travel time and energy consumption, especially in the context of autonomous driving.

Student teams will develop autonomous interfaces for both small cars and drones, and duckies will act as single passengers in both transportation modes. Student teams get points for detecting QR codes in a parkour, where the codes are distributed between ground and walls, so that teams can only get many points if they change modes.

Videos

Students from the Padavan team display their pick up and release system which used their own QR-Code coordinate system, to locate the drone indoor.

Darkwing Duck Team had an impressive duckiebots implementation which sent a message to their micro controller, activating it's pick up and release mechanism.

Brainduck team used blue markers to enhance the computer vision algorithm of the duckiebots.
