SNU College of Engineering (Dean Kookheon Char) announced on December 8 that an undergraduate team of engineering students, consisting of Jung-min Cho, Jae-yoon Kang and Jun-seo Jang, won the Prime Minister's Award at the 2020 Engineering Festival's Creative Comprehensive Design Competition, a Capstone Design Competition hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
The 'Rudolph Team', created by the third-year student Jung-min Cho and second-year student Jun-seo Jang of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the fourth-year student Jae-yoong Kang of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, won the top prize at the 2020 Engineering Festival for their work regarding 'self-driving three-wheeled kickboards using depth cameras and ORB SLAM*'. The award ceremony was broadcasted live on YouTube on November 27 at the online E2 Studio, which connected seven hub centers nationwide, including the Korea University Innovation Center for Engineering Education.
*Computer programs that generate maps in real time and identify an individual's location on the map.
The Engineering Festival Creative Comprehensive Design Competition is a Capstone Design Competition where students from 90 engineering colleges and universities across the country plan, design, upgrade various ideas, and produce actual prototypes every year.
The 'Rudolph Team' worked on a project to simultaneously maximize the profitability and consumer benefits of electric kickboard sharing services. Research was conducted to eliminate general pedestrian obstructions through unmanned autonomous driving operations, improve user convenience through improved parking, improve efficiency in battery recovery work, and discover the possibility of business expansion into unmanned delivery service areas.
"The 'Rudolph Team' that received the best prize at the Creative Comprehensive Design Competition also achieved excellent results as being awarded the Prime Minister's Award at the national competition," said SNU College of Engineering. "As in this case, the major winning teams of the annual school's Creative Comprehensive Design Competition sponsored by the DB Kim jun ki Cultural Foundation are also performing well every year at the national competition", they added.
In addition to the Rudolph Team, the 'Sigma Industry' Team, one of the winners of the school's Creative Comprehensive Design Competition, received the Encouragement Award at the International Capstone Design Fair 2020, hosted by Korea University Innovation Center for Engineering Education, for their work regarding "Automatic Trash Disposal System" on November 24.
The "Sigma Industry" team, consisting of Shin Jae-woo and 2 other students of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, caught the attention of domestic and foreign judges by proposing an autonomous driving garbage collection system to solve the garbage problem at the Han River Park. The International Capstone Design Fair 2020 was held through online video connections with students from major domestic engineering universities, including the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), and all participating teams presented and demonstrated their works in English.
The DB Kim jun ki Cultural Foundation signed an MOU with the SNU College of Engineering to provide research expenses to student teams participating in the Industrial-Academic Cooperation Capstone Design Competition, along with the prize money for major winners of the school's Creative Comprehensive Design Competition and the world's largest IT and home appliance exhibition.
"We will continue to work on a virtuous cycle to help students develop engineering skills through corporate sponsorship and devise creative ideas that can contribute to society," said Dean Kookheon Char of the SNU College of Engineering.
Jung-min Cho, a representative of the team, said, "I am very proud that we have achieved excellent results in national competitions, based on our experiences within school competitions. The products and technologies we have devised are highly complex and require additional reviews on their business feasibility, but we are trying to use them for the operation of shared kickboard services."
