Kien-Van Tram and the Walking Machine Club were the happy recipients of the two scholarships.
They were chosen by an internal committee for their ingeniousness, their motivation and their creativity, as well as their tireless application of what they are learning in the classroom to their personal and professional endeavours.
Kien-Van is the creator of Vanro, a web-based video game which allows him to play with other gamers from around the world. Interested by artificial intelligence, Kien-Van is also perfecting voice recognition software which allows him to use voice commands to perform simple information searches.
The members of the ETS Walking Machine Club, represented by their captain Alexandre Gagnon, are just as passionate about their club activities as they are about their studies. Club members are building a robot that must pick up different objects along an obstacle course in under 90 seconds.The robot will compete against the robots of other clubs from around the world. The competition will take place in France and in other places in Europe and their scholarship will help fund this contest. The ETS club members are determined to win, even if this requires several all-nighters to perfect their prototype.
