    And the Hackathon’s Second Place Goes to: 3D Model for Robots

    Team members Aviv, Lahav, Asher, Itay, and Eyal developed a system that allows one to see robots in action on a 3D image and gain accurate input on their position

  • And the Hackathon’s Winners are: Autonomous Mapping and Navigation System

    And the Hackathon’s Winners are: Autonomous Mapping and Navigation System

    Team members Maya, Yedidya, Alin and Chen have developed an autonomous mapping and navigation system, mounted on drone or robots, which allows them to navigate their way back even when contact is lost

  • And the Third Place Goes to: Robo-Waze

    And the Third Place Goes to: Robo-Waze

    Yair and David’s team developed a new, safe navigation system for robots. Using existing topographic maps, the system factors in elements like the robot’s weight and slope angles

    Towards Solving a Quantum Paradox

    The results of an experiment reported by Dr. Eli Cohen and his colleague could be the key to understanding a quantum paradox, which projects on the nonlocal, counterintuitive nature of quantum particles

  • The Faculty of Engineering’s Annual Hackathon is Almost Here!

    The Faculty of Engineering’s Annual Hackathon is Almost Here!

    The Faculty of Engineering’s third annual hackathon will be held this June, and for the first time ever, it will be in collaboration with the IDF. “Two of our organizers this year, Daniel Rabinek and myself, served in the military together at the Engineering Corps’ Special Operations Force (Yahalom),” shares Ofek Eldar (28), a third-year electrical engineering student in the nano-electronics and signal processing track. “When we were brainstorming ideas for this year’s hackathon, we thought about doing something with Yahalom; bringing together the operational aspect—the combat soldiers—and the technological aspect, computer, and electrical engineering students. Luckily, the idea was welcomed with quite the enthusiasm. Both Yahalom and the Faculty of Engineering did more than their share to make it happen.”

    Thanks to brain mapping performed on patients with brain tumors, Dr. Yaara Erez’s research group was able to identify neural networks that are associated with higher cortical functions. This finding will enable clinicians to provide patients with optimal, personalized treatment

  • Faculty representation at the Israel-Germany Quantum Future Academy Workshop

    Faculty representation at the Israel-Germany Quantum Future Academy Workshop

    Congratulations, Eden Sade from Prof. Moti Fridman’s lab, and Noga Entin from Dr. Adi Makmal’s lab, who were chosen to take part in the 2023 Israel-Germany Quantum Future Academy Workshop. The two students were chosen, together with other 13 students from Israel, for their academic excellence out of hundreds of worthy applicants. The first part of the workshop was held in Israel in February and the second part will take place in Germany, in September 2023. We wish them the best of luck and are looking forward to seeing them representing our country and Faculty.
