AI then helps combine individual signs into more natural sentences.<\/p>\n<h2>Six health measurements in 90 seconds<\/h2>\n<p>Another award-winning invention has moved beyond the laboratory. Asadbek Urunov, a master&#8217;s student at Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent, won third place in the student Best Project category for Body Tester, a device his team calls a \u201crobot doctor\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The machine measures height, weight, pulse, blood oxygen levels, body temperature and blood pressure in around 90 seconds, storing the results digitally and offering preliminary recommendations. <\/p>\n<p>Urunov says the same measurements can take 20 to 25 minutes when performed separately using conventional equipment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6666666666666666\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/94\/94\/33\/808x539_cmsv2_398474ce-6dd6-5187-8a9c-58559b01e77f-9949433.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Body Tester&quot;, Uzbek robo-doctor \"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">&#8220;Body Tester&#8221;, Uzbek robo-doctor <\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Asadbek Urunov&#8217;s social media page<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis is only a preliminary assessment.

The lining protects the machinery from wear and influences how the balls move, affecting grinding efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>A master&#8217;s student at the Graduate School of Business and Entrepreneurship, Gafforov developed the new lining with specialists from Navoi State University of Mining and Technologies, combining wear-resistant steel and cast iron. <\/p>\n<p>He says it is already in use at facilities operated by Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to the results, its service life increased by between one and a half and two times, grinding efficiency improved by 30 to 35%, and energy consumption fell by 5 to 10%,\u201d he told Euronews.<\/p>\n<h2>A robotic platform moves towards production<\/h2>\n<p>Dilmurod Rustamov of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent won second place in the student Best Project category for BARLOS, a hybrid unmanned ground vehicle that can operate on electricity or petrol. Its modular design allows different equipment to be fitted for different tasks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.5591304347826087\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/94\/94\/33\/808x451_cmsv2_4691b39c-dd4b-5b5b-8dae-e7d5140a8ccf-9949433.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Barlos&quot; Ground Robotic Complex\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">&#8220;Barlos&#8221; Ground Robotic Complex<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Rustamov says the platform was demonstrated to the head of Uzbekistan&#8217;s State Security Service and has publicly described it as military technology.<\/p>\n<p>According to the developer, his team has produced nine vehicles after receiving an order for eight units in four configurations.

Some remain prototypes, while others, according to their creators, are already in use beyond university laboratories.A smart glove to bridge a communication gapAmong the winners was engineering student Abduqodir Latifjonov, whose project, ImoVox, took second place in the student category for Best Idea.He developed a sensor-equipped glove after witnessing the difficulties some sign language users face when communicating with people who do not understand them.\u201cI started thinking: in this age of technology, why can\u2019t we create a solution that understands their signs and turns them into speech that everyone can understand?\u201d he told Euronews.Adapted to Uzbek sign language, the prototype uses sensors to track finger and hand movements in three dimensions.Individual gestures are recorded and assigned meanings, allowing the device to recognise them and convert them into speech. AI then helps combine individual signs into more natural sentences.Six health measurements in 90 secondsAnother award-winning invention has moved beyond the laboratory. Asadbek Urunov, a master&#8217;s student at Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent, won third place in the student Best Project category for Body Tester, a device his team calls a \u201crobot doctor\u201d.The machine measures height, weight, pulse, blood oxygen levels, body temperature and blood pressure in around 90 seconds, storing the results digitally and offering preliminary recommendations.Urunov says the same measurements can take 20 to 25 minutes when performed separately using conventional equipment.\u201cThis is only a preliminary assessment. We should not use it to make a final medical conclusion,\u201d he told Euronews.According to Urunov, the device is already in use in around 30 organisations, including public institutions and clinics.Reducing energy use in ore processingBekzod Gafforov won first place in the student Best Invention category for a redesigned lining used in industrial ball mills, which grind ore before further processing.Inside these rotating machines, heavy metal balls crush and grind the ore. The lining protects the machinery from wear and influences how the balls move, affecting grinding efficiency.A master&#8217;s student at the Graduate School of Business and Entrepreneurship, Gafforov developed the new lining with specialists from Navoi State University of Mining and Technologies, combining wear-resistant steel and cast iron.He says it is already in use at facilities operated by Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company.\u201cAccording to the results, its service life increased by between one and a half and two times, grinding efficiency improved by 30 to 35%, and energy consumption fell by 5 to 10%,\u201d he told Euronews.A robotic platform moves towards productionDilmurod Rustamov of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent won second place in the student Best Project category for BARLOS, a hybrid unmanned ground vehicle that can operate on electricity or petrol. Its modular design allows different equipment to be fitted for different tasks.Rustamov says the platform was demonstrated to the head of Uzbekistan&#8217;s State Security Service and has publicly described it as military technology.According to the developer, his team has produced nine vehicles after receiving an order for eight units in four configurations. The team says it has also been tasked with producing 100 units in 2027.A drone designed to intercept dronesThe competition&#8217;s first prize in the student Best Project category went to Biloliddin Ismoilov, a second-year student at Tashkent University of Information Technologies, for Shunqor-8, a locally developed drone interceptor.\u201cWe are creating something new, something that has not been done here before,\u201d Ismoilov said.Designed to counter unmanned aircraft, the system can reportedly reach speeds of up to 450 km\/h and intercept targets 8\u201310 kilometres away, according to information released by Uzbekistan&#8217;s Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation.Ismoilov says the technology has undergone eight rounds of field testing, with further trials planned.Controlling computers with hand movementsDavron Polojanov, who took third place in the student Best Invention category, developed the Hand Control Mouse K10G.The device uses hand movements in three dimensions to control computers and other electronics without a conventional mouse.\u201cWhile an ordinary mouse works on a flat surface, our Hand Control Mouse works in the air, along the X, Y and Z axes,\u201d Polojanov explained. \u201cIt allows us to control computers, equipment and other devices through movements in the air.\u201dOne potential application is in education. Teachers could move through presentations while walking around the classroom, rather than repeatedly returning to their computers.\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/10\/13\/a-talking-glove-a-90-second-health-check-and-a-drone-interceptor-meet-uzbekistans-young-in&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/94\/94\/33\/1200x675_cmsv2_c17ad27c-0efa-55d5-a6e5-2d02d674fc45-9949433.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Hungary MPs vote to cut anti-LGBTQ+ legislation from Orb\u00e1n-era law Europe News EU ends anti-corruption funding curbs on Hungary, freeing \u20ac4.2bn Business Stellantis, Filosa: &#8220;Too much capacity in Europe&#8221;, strikes deals to avoid closures Destinations From Sofia to Verona: Europe\u2019s 10 best city breaks for 2027 Europe News Hungary MPs [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2194381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2194381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2194381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2194381\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2194381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2194381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2194381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
