Follow the vehicle

ŠKODA AUTO and our faculty cooperates on a concept of new assistant systems called "Follow the Vehicle". The principle of this technology is that a vehicle without a driver goes by itself because it is driven by a driver in the first vehicle. In the development and testing of the technology two cars ŠKODA SUPERB iV are used - not only for the development of the systems but also driving tests in the university campus.

Virtual reality and its practical use

Nowadays, a computer graphics is a part of all fields and areas; from vizualozation, simulation to planning. At the last time the virtual and extended reality flourish where a lot of new options are thanks to a pair of glasses.

Balancing table with a roll

Image stabilization and keeping an object position and object balance in a space belong to the most often repeated problems of technical practise. As a demonstrative example of one solution can be balancing table with a roll. This is possible with available, cheap and efficient accounting apparatus based on one microcomputer using management in a real time.

Air Quality Management System

Our faculty together with Faculty of Materials Science and Technology and statutory cities from the Czech republic, Slovakia, Poland create a web for transaparental management of air quality called AQMS (Air Quality Management System). The web helps to decide in management of air quality in global region and visualizes an impact of various measures on air quality by a simple way.

Monitoring driver´s state

Increasing technic level of hardware and camera sensors are able to create programmes that localize and analyze various parts of human body in real time (head, face, eye, hands, arms etc.)


Self-driving car

The issue of self-driving not only of cars is going to be more and more important topic dealt in practise.. Students can try on their own during their study tnanks to small car models that are equipped by a camera and microcomputer. For turning a car model uses a servomotor and for fuel as well as braking it uses two small electromotors. The aim is to drive through an unknown road or route bordered by two black stripes on both sides. Their solutions can compare with competitors in the international competitions NXP Cup.

Bioinformatics belongs to the current trends

We are cooperating with Faculty of Medicine in Olomouc on an project dealing with analysis of biomedicine data. We are developing new algorithms and methods how to work with data for example from an area of DNA sequencing. Methodology and algorithms that were developed by us at FEI have been already using and serve doctors. They help to improve quality of medical treatment of many types of diseases.

Physical car model with trailers

Have you ever reversed with car with a connected trail? If you have then you know that it is not simple how it can seem. And can you imagine you have more than one trail? We can introduce an unique educational physical model for demonstration of manul and automatic driving with one or three trails. This model represents a sophisticated aid for education and research in cybernetics field. In real life you find a lot of examples but we mention transport system for baggages at the airport or automatic parking assistant in a car or truck.
