Od wiosny 2016 roku pracujemy nad stworzeniem łódki żaglowej, która ma działać w pełni autonomicznie. Jednym z potencjalnych celów tego projektu jest udział w konkursie The Microtransat Challenge, który polega na samodzielnym przepłynięciu przez łódź Oceanu Atlantyckiego. Do tej pory nikomu na świecie się to nie udało. Zadanie jest trudne do realizacji, ponieważ łódka może mieć maksymalnie 2,4 m długości, musi być w pełni samodzielna, nie ma możliwości zdalnego sterowania, a do tego musi poruszać się tylko dzięki sile wiatru....

Project SeaSentinel started in November 2021 as a continuation of a high school project named USV “Czajka”, made by Igor Rusiecki and Artur Kamieniecki. Main goal of this project is to create an Autonomous Surface Vessel capable of conducting water quality measurement operations in ports and coastal areas. We intend to take part in RoboBoat 2023 competition in Florida, USA. The competition is being organised by RoboNation Foundation and Office of Naval Research....

In March 2019, we started the hand prosthesis project in SimLE. The project was initiated by the idea of one student who noticed a problem with the availability of cheap prostheses on the market that could be used by those in need. The goal of the project is to create a prosthesis and give it for free to a needy person who cannot afford prosthesis available on the market. The project consists of seven students divided into two groups....

At the beginning of the 2017/2018 academic year we have launched a rocket project in SimLE. The project consists of 30 members whose goal is the construction of low-range rockets. As part of the project, we are also intensively developing cooperation with the Polskie Towarzystwo Rakietowe (the Polish Rocket Society) and the company SpaceForest, which provide us with substantive support. The SimBa project currently has two teams (R3 and R4). Each of them deals with the construction of rockets with different parameters....

AMBER - Autonomous Modular Biotechnological Experiment on a Rocket The aim of the payload of the R6 suborbital rocket is to perform the experiment to study the effects of rocket flights on biofilm samples and test our autonomous, modular, and scalable platform for conducting experiments of an astrobiotechnological nature. For this purpose, we use the interdisciplinary character of the team to ensure full integrity, reliability, and operational efficiency. The experiment to be carried out during the Spaceport America Cup competition constitutes the first stage of our team’s three-stage scientific programme of astrobiotechnological experiments, the sense of which was confirmed by a letter of recommendation from the scientist working for the NASA Ames Research Center....

Stardust is an interdisciplinary project of students of the Gdańsk University of Technology, whose goal is to send experiments in stratospheric balloons as part of the REXUS / BEXUS and Global Space Balloon Challenge competitions. The idea for the implementation of the mission of stratospheric balloons was born in our heads in 2015. After the first successful missions aimed at reaching the stratosphere and checking the possibilities of the solutions being created, we were ready to carry out more complicated experiments....

Skyhawk Podczas realizacji projektu odbyto liczne wizyty w aeroklubie gdańskim i spotkania z pilotami, w celu jak najlepszego poznania symulowanego samolotu. Projekt jest wynikiem pracy kilkudziesięciu studentów z niemalże wszystkich wydziałów Politechniki Gdańskiej oraz studentów z innych uczelni. Wykonanie projektu było zadaniem niezwykle skomplikowanym. Proces tworzenia polegał na analizowaniu problemu, a następnie opracowywaniu rozwiązania, które następnie było wdrażane i testowane. Prace projektowe połączone były z pracami warsztatowymi. W efekcie powstały autorskie rozwiązania, a nasze urządzenie jest unikatowe w skali światowej....
