Between November 24-27, 2022, the Unihack international hackathon took place, organized in Timișoara by Liga AC. The event placed a special emphasis on solving civic problems.
More than two hundred participants took part in the competition, the West University team ranking in the first five teams that entered the final round, to win the grand prize worth 2000 euros. Each of the five teams presented their idea, project and implementation where applicable. The UVT.SmartBits team managed to capture the attention of the audience and the judges, eventually winning the grand prize. The team consists of four students from the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of UVT - Theodor Grumeza, Richard Baczur, Daniel Miron and Răzvan Iovescu - and one student, Robert Iridon, from the Faculty of Mechanics of UPT.
ChatterGlove – the winning project developed by the UVT.SmartBits team, is a prototype exoskeleton glove connected to a smartphone, with the help of which people with hearing and speech impairments can more easily integrate into society, facilitating human interaction through a common interface . Basically, people with hearing and speech impairments will be able to communicate more easily with those who do not know sign language.
UVT Rector, Marilen Gabriel Pirtea: "UVT is an academic community that values innovation, and the series of team activities for robotics competitions is one of the best designed in this spirit. I congratulate the members of the UVT.SmartBits robotics team, who see their value and inventiveness rewarded by winning the grand prize in the Unihack international hackathon.”
