SmartWalk is a developing product whose purpose is to convert the mechanical energy of man's walk into electricity, writes portal gradnja.rs. Carpets will no longer only serve to collect dust. They will soon produce electricity, thanks to the invention of students from Novi Sad. Namely, SmartWalk is a domestic product whose purpose is to convert the mechanical energy of man's walk into electricity, which is developed by Željko Popović and his colleague Vladimir Vincan, students of the fourth year of Electronics at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad, orientation of microcomputer electronics.

"Today is a very current topic of green energy, so we wanted to deal with something that is connected, but it has not yet been explored enough. Therefore, we imagined that we should create a device that generates electricity and does not depend on weather conditions, but only on the number of passersby," says Željko for the construction web portal gradnja.rs.

They designed a device that generates electricity and does not depend on weather conditions, but only on the number of passers-by. The energy received by a man's walk on a smart carpet, located in a mall or other public building, would serve to power small electrical appliances such as, for example, security systems that themselves or otherwise require continuous power supply.

A double entrepreneurial spirit, apart from paying attention to faculty obligations, is also focused on robotics. Members of Memristor team, a robot faculty team with which they won the fourth place at the Eurobot2018 European competition last year. Preparations for this year's Eurobot are largely in progress, and the competition will be held this year on April 6 at the University of Novi Sad building.
