Stop food waste and mobile robots gestures - the winners from SICK Solution Hackathon

Two of 24 teams at SICK Solution Hackathon were able to convince the public jury: Varun Burde, Marina Ionova, Serhii Voronov, Elizaveta Isaianova (all Czech) and D. William Campman (USA) – the Testbed for Industry 4.1 Prague team – won the Technological Excellence category with their idea of a mobile robot controlled by voice and gestures. The idea behind it is that mobile robots are equipped with voice control as well as a camera and communicate via a 5G network in the cloud. In this way, the robot can be steered in a certain direction or stopped by simple gestures or spoken commands. In the “Best Business Idea" category, the audience voted the team with Marton Juhasy, Christian Mety, Helena Hauter, Bence Bejcyz and Emil Gregersen – the Copenhagen Collective, from the Technical University Copenhagen as the winner. With their solution, the five students aim to prevent organic waste in commercial kitchens and ensure that more food ends up on plates than in the trash can. The team used cameras and a sensor that can digitally map factors such as odor to visualize data about the condition of food from the refrigerator. The sensors trigger a signal on a smartphone when a defined threshold is reached, prompting kitchen staff to take action.
