Youth research 2017Young researchers called to the 52nd round
"The future - I'm shaping it!" - This is the motto for a new round of the youth research competition. Young people who enjoy and are interested in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology can now apply with their research project.
The intelligent cocktail machine 'Lazybar' by Jonas Autenrieth (19) and Nikolai Braun ((17)) mixes different cocktails quickly and precisely at the touch of a button. Via an LCD display and menu structure, the user can choose from a constantly updated range of drinks, which are mixed from up to ten possible ingredients. The young researchers researched bars and designed a user-friendly housing. They selected the appropriate components - including special dosing pumps and turbulence technology -, designed circuit diagrams and circuit boards and programmed the automatic processes: from the detection of glass sizes and fill levels to a constant mixing ratio and 150 recipes to the maintenance procedure and billing system.
