Young roboticists from Karaganda won an award at the International Olympiad in Turkey

Karaganda schoolchildren became prize-winners of the international Robotics Olympiad in Turkey. They presented a solution for agriculture and ecology: a smart bioreactor recycles animal waste into biogas, which can be used as an energy source. At the same time, harmful emissions do not enter the atmosphere.

The Fibonacci Eurasia Robot Olympiad competition was held in Antalya. 629 teams from 11 countries participated in them.

The region was represented by students of the Information Technology Lyceum school. The AIDK robotics team — Ansar Aitken, Kazhymukan Tusip and Ilya Son — took second place in the creative category of the Green Entrepreneurship Challenge.

— The idea of the project is to process animal bio-waste into biogas and fertilizers. The bioreactor is equipped with IoT sensors that monitor temperature, pH and gas levels in real time, and AI helps optimize the process and increase its efficiency. This reduces methane emissions, provides energy for farms and contributes to a more sustainable development of cattle breeding," says Ilya Son. cattle breeding, — says Ilya Son.

The system works automatically: the equipment controls the process, and the data can be monitored remotely — even from a smartphone.

— Data from sensors via Arduino is sent to the Raspberry Pi, processed and transmitted further, and the user sees all the indicators in the telegram bot in real time. Through it, you can control the equipment — turn on the pump or change the temperature both automatically and manually. The built—in AI analyzes the data and suggests how to improve the system's performance, which allows you to control the process from a distance, adds Kazhymukan Tusip.

The students intend to refine the idea in order to improve the result.

In addition, the Inspire girls team, which included fifth-graders Sezim Serik and Inju Karatai, took third place in the Girls' Triathlon category. And 9th grade student Aikin Ablash received a jury certificate for striving to win.
