BİLGEM Activities

“Metaverse”
The concept of (Virtual Universe) began to enter our lives. We, as TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, chose Metaverse for the main theme of the activities at our stand in order to present our work in this field to our participants and to give them a unique experience. The participants, who created their own avatars with the “Metaverse Avatar Creation Booth” at our booth, took photos with their avatars and took this pleasant experience to their homes.
“Texture-Find Screen”
“Can we feel real-life objects and surfaces by touching relevant images?” "Haptics Technology", which aims to answer the question technically, was showcased for the first time at a festival. We have developed the "Texture-Find Screen", which we have created as a result of intensive studies in recent years, as the application area of touch technology. Thanks to this device, the participants, who could feel the surfaces of real objects by touching their pictures, experienced the feeling of touching a real crocodile by touching the back of a crocodile on the screen, and felt the mountains, rivers and plains by touching the physical map of Azerbaijan.
“BİL-BUL”
Cryptology base TÜBİTAK BİLGEM organized a great prize-winning competition focused on mathematics and cryptology for young people in the festival area. Competitors, who answered the cryptology questions correctly within the given time, returned to their homes on electric scooters. 
'Smile with the Pioneers'
Within the scope of Teknofest Black Sea, the "Smile with the Pioneers" event was held. At this event, the visitors had fun by taking pictures with the avatars of our groundbreaking scientists, who pioneered in many branches of science, and shared the photos they took on their social media accounts.
The Chip Design Competition
The Chip Design Competition organized by TUBITAK BILGEM All-Around Design and Education Laboratory (TÜTEL) for the first time in 2022 within the scope of TEKNOFEST Aviation, Space and Technology Festival is a competition aimed at enabling university students at associate degree, undergraduate and graduate level to have awareness in the field of microelectronics and gain knowledge about chip design. The competition also aims to pioneer the formation of competent human resources in this field through the practical application of microelectronics technologies. Within the scope of the Chip Design Competition, which is organized under two separate categories, "Digital Processor Design" and "Analog Design", two reports, a Preliminary Design Report (ÖTR) and a Detail Design Report (DTR), are expected from the teams, a project demo where they will introduce their projects, and a final presentation. . TÜTEL provides online two-day chip design training to teams that pass the ÖTR stage. At the end of the competition, the top three teams in the Digital Design and Analog Design categories are also given cash prizes.

Competitors are expected to develop an Artificial Intelligence based object detection system and detect vehicle and human objects using the camera data of the flying car with this system. In addition, visual landing assistant is needed as vehicles land and take off from areas in the city. This assistant needs to identify the Flying Car Park (UAP) and Flying Ambulance Landing (UAI) areas. In this context, the system to be developed by the competitors must determine whether these areas are suitable for landing after determining the UAP and UAI areas and verify that there are no people, vehicles or any foreign objects in these areas. In addition, from the competitors; In order to ensure that flying cars provide a safer service, they need to find solutions to control and optimization problems, taking into account harsh weather conditions, night and day views.
