Synthetic blood, light-emitting quantum dots, B-Droid, underwater robot, solar boat and printed electronics – these are just some of our scientists’ projects that have fascinated us throughout the year. Each week on BIT of WUT, we wrote about their fantastic inventions, discoveries or research projects. In the last article of this year, we would like to remind you once more of the innovative projects from WUT.

They are all students or former students of the Warsaw University of Technology. Together with the President of the Republic of Poland, they represented our country at the economic mission in Sweden, and their product, the Internet of Robots, came second in the international Robot Launch competition organised by Silicon Valley. As they rather courageously admit, nothing is impossible for them.

New symbols, dedicated colour palette, original fonts – the Warsaw University of Technology implements new Visual Identity (VI). WUT would like to set trends not only in the academic field but also in the way of thinking about a modern and strong institution such as WUT. This is one of the reasons why WUT decided to create new identification system, which since now, has become a basic tool for creating the Brand of the Warsaw University of Technology.

In the newest ranking of the best universities from emerging countries, The Warsaw University of Technology is now placed in the 109^th position. In comparison with the previous year, WUT moved up five positions, even though the number of all universities rose from 200 to 300. The Warsaw University of Technology takes the second place among all Polish universities.

Researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology have been working on an automated pollination system for 4 years now. First a mobile version with wheels, and now the flying B-Droid has been garnering considerable interest not only in Poland. That's hardly surprising, as our scientists have developed software for devices that can effectively help bees in their core, from our point of view, activity – pollination.
