A student of the Radu Greceanu National College, in Slatina (southwestern Romania) Adrian Vulpe- Grigorasi winner, in May of the second prize of an international contest for projects on the development of an international space station organized by NASA wants to achieve a robotic arm controlled by brain waves.
Adrian Vulpe Grigorasi, a 11 form student, told Agerpres that although in May he had won two prizes in international informatics contests, he wants to stay and study in Romania, and attend the Military Technical Academy, and go on developing his projects.
He also won the gold medal in InfoMatrix international informatics organized by the Lumina University in Bucharest, on May 16-20 for a robotic arm imitating the human movements. Attending were contestants from 55 countries, and guiding Adrian in the achievement of the project was his teacher Lucian Grigore.
Vying in the contest that NASA organized in San Diego, California, on May 22-29, vs. participants from 35 countries, the Romanian student won the second prize for the project of an international space station. The project’s coordinator was Adrian’s form teacher Violeta Balan.
“I did not expect receiving prizes because it was a very fierce competition, but winning encourages me to develop new projects and go on developing the robotic arm project, so that it could be guided by brain waves. I want to continue attending university in Romania. There are many valuable, worthy people here and I want to be one of them. I’d like to study at the Military Technical University,’ Adrian Vulpe Grigoras said. AGERPRES
