A laboratories tour was held at ITIS for everyone

People of different ages and interests came to the Higher Institute of ITIS to have a tour. There were also schoolchildren, who are choosing a university to study at the future, and adults, who are interested in the IT sphere.

The staff of ITIS told about the laboratories of the Higher Institute of ITIS and about the projects they are doing. Great interest was aroused by the projects of Digital Media Lab, which works with visualization, development of computer and mobile games, virtual reconstruction, etc. But the biggest delight was caused by an excursion to the Laboratory of intelligent robotic systems, where everyone could look at real robots, see how they play football and react to people.

The guest highly appreciated an anthropomorphic robot ROBOTIS-OP-2, who clapped his hands, greeted the guests and performed various commands. One of the features of this robot is that it is programmed to perform various actions, reacting to certain colors. Each color or a set of them causes a given reaction in it. There were funny moments when the robot lost sight of its color tags and reacted to clothes of the same colors. So, without noticing its red ball, the robot football player saw a man in a red shirt and approached him for a kick.
