Nomagic Warsaw MIMotaurs

More than two years of hard work and reaching the top 5⃣ teams from around the world – this is how our #MBZIRC adventure is coming to an end! ✨ The last month was full of many sleepless nights spent developing our original solutions to create a fully functional system that helps in autonomous marine operations ⛵️ Reaching the grand finals in Abu Dhabi showed us that all our efforts have not been in vain, and together we created a considerable masterpiece 💪 We want to share our achievements with the world, so we're announcing a series of blog-posts which will describe technical challenges we faced and all the solutions we have found 🧭 All of this wouldn't have been possible without our wonderful partners. We want to thank you for your amazing, non-stop support of our team! 🎉 ➡️ Nomagic ➡️ Uniwersytet Warszawski ➡️ Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics ➡️ Farada Group Sp. z o.o. ➡️ uAvionics Unmanned Systems ➡️ IDEAS NCBR ➡️ Foundation for Information Technology Development ➡️ deepsense.ai Unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to fully demonstrate our solution because the organizers canceled Run 3. We want to congratulate UNIZG-FER for being nominated as the best performer! 🏆 This is the beginning of the further journey we are about to embark on 🚀✨ Thank you for being with us – follow us to be the first to know what is next!

Another day brought further testing and fine-tuning of our system 🔧 This is the time to adjust all aspects to the exact terrain of the bay where the final task takes place 📈 This makes us sure that the whole thing will work even more reliably when fired up autonomously ✅ Stay tuned for further updates from the great finale of #MBZIRC 💪 Check out our Facebook profile for even more photos 👇 https://lnkd.in/dwdmnrs5

We'd been preparing for this moment for a long time, and now the jury could officially see our hand-crafted solution in action! 🚀 A whole fleet of drones, a custom boat, and an electronics & programming background worked together autonomously, performing the competition task in the beautiful Persian Gulf area 🌴 The final task of #MBZIRC is to find a vessel designated by the organizers using drones, then transfer both small and large objects from the ship's deck to our autonomous boat ✅ Sounds simple? 🤔 The entire process must take place without any human interaction, and all devices must communicate with each other without the use of GPS 🤯 We'll be back with more updates tomorrow! 🙋♂️ But right now, you can find more photos on our Facebook profile 👇 https://lnkd.in/dwdmnrs5

The ultimate finale has begun! Our team is already in Abu Dhabi, where the final battle for the final victory in #MBZIRC will take place this week 🏆 We've been working hard for over two years to get to this point – and here we are! 🦸♂️ We are doing our best to really show that it is the Nomagic Warsaw MIMotaurs who will beat the other teams and proudly win the international competition ✌ Stay tuned for more updates tomorrow!

As the #MBZIRC finals are getting closer and closer, Karol and Michal gave a short interview 🎥 Watch the video and find out how our story began 💪

Winter has finally arrived, and with it, the holiday season starts in its full glory ☃️ Right now we can have a well-deserved few days of rest, only to get back to work really soon - in just 3 weeks we are heading all the way to Abu Dhabi for the grand finale of #MBZIRC2023! 🏆 The entire Nomagic Warsaw MIMotaurs team wishes you happy holidays spent with family and much success in the upcoming year 🎀 See you soon in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣! 👋

In the final #MBZIRC2023 challenge, one of our tasks is to lift objects from the decks of the ships ⛵ Today we want to highlight the great solution made by Jakub Organa: ships are being constantly observed by our vision devices, and based on the data they obtain, a special reference point is created in the navigation system 📝 In the picture, you can see examples of boats and their real-time image representations – the green arrow is of great importance here, as it depicts the current direction of movement 🌊 Although for a human this task may seem pretty simple, for a computer this is not the case! Lots of data need to be correctly analyzed for the system to work correctly and efficiently 🔧 Our models boast very high reliability in determining the boat's direction based on the acquired 3d model – this is crucial for the whole solution to work properly 💪

This week we are once again visiting the Zegrze Lake, where our custom boat is stationed 🛥 As the snowy weather is slowly arriving in Poland, we are starting the big operation – which is to prepare the boat for transport by plane directly to the grand finale of the #MBZIRC2023 challenge in Abu Dhabi! ✈ With the help of a big crane, we take the boat out of the lake, so we can prepare it for the great trip 🏗️ In the coming weeks we will be disassembling and packing it up, and then it will be ready for transport to the final destination 🎉 Don't forget to follow our LinkedIn profile so you don't miss the next update from the final preparations! ✅

Last Sunday, the Polish Academic Team Programming Championships were held at the Uniwersytet Warszawski 👨💻 One of our team members, Michał Niedziółka, was a guest in the expert studio, where people connected with Polish team programming were invited 🎙️ Michał talked a bit about who Nomagic Warsaw MIMotaurs are and about the great success of having a Polish team in the upcoming grand finals of #MBZIRC2023 💪 The interview was hosted by the excellent TV presenter Radek Brzózka. You can see the full interview on YouTube: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/diCxkweD Big thanks for Rafal Sikorski for inviting us to this special event! 🎉

In order to make our solution as reliable as possible, we test it exhaustively on boats of different sizes 🛥️ In the video you can see the point cloud collected by one of our devices; it was taken during testing on a large anchor winch ⚓ With the new data, we are successively building our models that accurately reflect reality. This makes us confident that we are still getting closer to achieving our desired goal! 🎯 #MBZIRC2023
