SHORT DESCRIPTION In order to improve waste management, the construction of a new smart bin made of recyclable materials is proposed. A number of sensors will be added to the SMARTBIN to measure the distance from the surface of the waste, thus calculating the average level. This way we will know at which height the waste is located. The sensors will be built into the bin to prevent vandalism and theft. Also, the bin will be made of highly durable recyclable materials and it will be possible to replace a damaged part rather than the entire bin.

SHORT DESCRIPTION The aim of the research project is to create an educational robot for students aged 4 to 9 years old, but given the use of linux it can be used by older people as well, giving them more possibilities. The purpose of this educational robot is to familiarize the user with new technology and robots and at the same time to educate, entertain and develop specific skills. The educational robot named EI-EDUROBOT (Emotional Intelligence Educational Robot) will be able to perform pre-designed scenarios for subjects such as physics, mathematics, computer science, environment, etc. at a very low acquisition cost. An important innovation of this proposal is that it proposes a flexible, general purpose educational robot that will inherently support teaching scenarios in the field of special education, as the robot will be equipped with sensory instruments and will have pre-installed specific scripts that will help children with disorders mainly of the autistic spectrum, characterized by deficit social skills. Using the scripts of the robot, children will be helped in the development of Emotional Intelligence, both typically developing children and children with social type disorders, focusing mainly on Empathy.
