As part of the final project in the software engineering department in Shankar, the students developed various systems that help improve the quality of life of the citizens and contribute to the environment. Manasseh’s palm tree, Danit Noa Yehezkel and Keren Halpert They developed the Dronet system, which consists of four autonomous drones connected by an elastic network, which was developed with the aim of transporting various loads efficiently and comfortably.
In addition, an application was developed with the help of which you can control the flight of the drones and thus transport the cargo in a safe and stable manner. The students say that they simplified the procedure for the user, to the point that he just uses the remote control and moves the load. The system takes into account the six flight directions that drones have in the air, and is based on Bluetooth.
“The field of transportation with the help of drones is in the stages of development, and there are several companies engaged in this development, but the innovation is the use of several drones at the same time, which enables new capabilities such as rescue and rescue in inaccessible places and a replacement for cranes. It’s a system that shows feasibility, and we look forward to seeing its future developments,” says Menashe, a student in the department.
Sergey Belinov and Adi Yaari, also students in the software engineering department at Shankar, created an image processing system that will help maintain the safety of children in kindergartens and give parents a sense of security. EyeSave is an image processing and real-time alerting system aimed at security and social skills research. This is a system of cameras located throughout the kindergarten, with the help of which they monitor the children’s presence in the kindergarten, prevent the children from leaving the kindergarten without an escort, and prevent the entry of unauthorized strangers. The cameras detect positive and negative interactions on the children’s faces, and they are transmitted directly to the application to which the kindergarten is connected, and real-time updates and alerts are sent to the kindergarten staff and the children’s parents.
Belinov, one of the developers of the system, explains: “The system is based on automatic cameras. In this way, a daily attendance update is not required. The new security capabilities give parents a sense of security.” Yaari adds: “We would be happy for the system to be used in every kindergarten in Israel. This way we will be able to deepen the research in the field of social relations between children and strengthen the sense of security among parents.”
