I'm most looking forward to juniors at YoungHackers. Our goal is to awaken enthusiasm for technology in the children, and YoungHackers is an ideal opportunity for it. I like to personally talk to everyone about the ways we are trying to achieve this goal.
Roman Čečil was probably already born with a soldering iron and a keyboard in hand. Designing electronics and programming microprocessor systems is his hobby and, until recently, his job. At the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, he led European research and development projects focusing on embedded systems. He currently works for Weidmüller as a consultant for industrial automation applications for Central and Eastern Europe. In addition, he has been engaged in leisure activities for children and youth for almost 20 years, leading programming, electronics and robotics courses.
I have been dealing with robotics, electronics, programming, AI and education in various forms for the last fourteen years since I started university and I am still learning and discovering new corners. In the last few years I have started to specialize in the development and analysis of data related to charging and battery systems. In my free time, my passion is reading books, doing any manual work that relaxes my brain, or listening to TED talks.
Mobile robotics and digital image processing are the topics I am focusing on since 2013 on the Faculty of Applied Sciences on ZČU. During my research, I build various kinds of mobile robots with the goal of being autonomous in their tasks. That involves mostly localization a space mapping through sensors - a method comparable with the one used in autonomous car development.
I use mostly Linux, C++, and Python together with Robot Operating System (ROS) which I will present on the #AimtecHackarhon. During my free time, I lead technical courses for kids.
At the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the University of West Bohemia, I am mainly involved in aerial robotics, especially in flight control and flight planning. My research focuses on multi-rotor drones, which are inherently unstable machines with violent behaviour. Therefore, it is important to design their systems to be as autonomous as possible. For my research I use MATLAB environment and recently especially Crazyflie microdrones controlled by Python library.
I lead a neuroinformatics team at ZČU, I am interested in biological and artificial neural networks in the context of software engineering, architectures and language semantics. The nature of learning, human-friendly methods of learning, the electrical activity of the brain, the life cycle of electrophysiological data, neurorehabilitation, and classical and impulse neurons are all popular areas where nothing is clear and where humans and computers struggle with uncertainty.
At the Aimtechackathon I will be mentoring a milling machine and other technologies such as VR. I also play with CNC machines at KATing.
I am a PhD student at the Faculty of Applied Sciences and I am interested in virtual reality. I am currently working on a project dealing with the rehabilitation of patients with limited mobility in virtual reality. Our solution is currently being pilot-tested in a clinical trial with real patients.
I joined DronySIT as a temporary worker during my studies at the Faculty of Applied Sciences, where I studied at the Department of Cybernetics. I started out as an application programmer for Apple devices, and later got to manage Windows and web applications. I also became a pilot and now I'm a department director.
For more than 10 years, I have been working in the field of developing smart systems, especially for people with limited mobility. During this time, I presented various technical solutions that aim to improve the quality of life of a person, family and make the work of medical staff and assistants more efficient. These solutions have been awarded in various competitions and professional conferences. A number of reports in the media also speak of the long-term benefits of my technologies. Today, in this area, I am trying to ensure that people have smart gadgets available, ideally for free - the state of technology already allows this nowadays.
Ondřej specializes in the design and production of upper limb prostheses. Only a few specialists in the Czech Republic are devoted to this specialization. He works for Ottobock ČR, which is represented in 60 countries around the world and is among the top in its field.
I graduated from the Faculty of Applied Sciences at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. My love for technology eventually brought me to SIT Port, where I am in charge of Boston Dynamics' robotic dog Spot and solve technical problems. In the past, I worked on European Horizon 2020 projects and have extensive experience in organizing international hackathons. Some of them were aimed at third-world countries, specifically helping Africa.
I am a student of the Faculty of Applied Sciences of ZČU - majoring in computer graphics. I have experience developing in Unity (not only) for VR. The topic of my bachelor's thesis was the automatic generation of animations for the purposes of rehabilitation in VR, so the topic of this year's Hackathon is quite close to me.
Petr is a highly qualified and experienced professional with a passion for technology and its potential to drive innovation and progress. He is responsible for overseeing the overall IT strategy for IKEM and ensuring that the IT department is aligned with the organization's goals and objectives.

I started working for AWS in Vancouver, Canada, six years ago as a software developer. I worked on AWS services like Route 53 and now, as a Solutions Architect in Prague, I help customers build systems using AWS. My interests include IoT, sensors, and automation, so I'm already looking forward to seeing a lot of interesting projects at the Aimtechackathon.
I am a doctoral student at ZČU FAV with a focus on AI and image processing. I am no longer new to Aimtec and have been shooting here for 3 years. I like to touch things I don't know, and when I'm not at the computer, I do sports somewhere.
Student of the 1st year of doctoral studies at the Faculty of Applied Sciences at ZČU. The goal of my diploma thesis was to search for sleep spindles in the EEG signal using neural networks. In the research that processes the EEG signal using neural networks, I am also continuing my doctoral thesis. Among other things, I teach database systems, programming and the basics of software development at ZČU.
A simple hackathon was no longer enough.
Take it further with us and create a project that helps people with disabilities. We set out to combine technology and code to make everyday functioning easier, enhance the senses, and save more time for experiences.
What did the helping hackathon look like?
We met with actual people who live with disabilities. We looked at what barriers limit them, and that was the brief for the hackathon projects. What was so cool about that? Most of the resulting projects found real-world applications. And right away!Pilsen’s #AimtecHackathon is a great place where I can meet up with enthusiastic peers from my field and touch technologies that you just won’t find every day in the workaday world.
Václav Löffelman, student ZČU
A three-day event in the amazing spaces of Pilsen’s former train station. A great venue, food, presentations, topics, professionalism, mentor field knowledge, helpfulness, relaxation spaces, access to “toys” and to hacking, and a human approach to sales-pitch segments.
Tomáš Kapler, Cleverlance
I’ve already been to #AimtecHackathon twice, and it's simply a superb event, practically unique, and I’ve got to say that right now, Aimtec is the coolest company in Pilsen.
Ondřej Ešler, IntraWorlds s.r.o.
#TechTalks is a pleasant and beneficial event; very good organization.
Luboš Šmídl, Department of Cybernetics, the University of West Bohemia
From the technologies standpoint, the third year has definitely been the best. I was really excited by the Alexa (Amazon Echo), and from the sheer variety of the projects, it was clear that everyone was satisfied. A friendly community gathers around #AimtecHackathon every year; you’d be hard-pressed to find anything like it at any other hackathon.
Martin Brom, a student at the University of West Bohemia
#AimtecHackathon was an exhausting marathon, which we were only able to manage thanks to the support of the organisers. Great organization + food, drinks and all the little things that make up a great whole. I’d rank this hackathon among the very best. Roman Löwinger, Etnetera Activate
A super event, in beautiful industrial spaces, with a great gang of technically oriented people. I really enjoyed the hackathon, and it was also my first, and it fulfilled my initial high expectations in full measure.
Václav Mašek, a student at the University of West Bohemia
What I mainly like about this hackathon is that I always get a chance to try out new technologies that I’d otherwise have a hard time accessing, and I can meet new people. (And I can eat great food too :) )
Pavel Přibáň, a student at the University of West Bohemia
I pushed my abilities and my horizons ahead. I met new people and learned new things. This was my first #AimtecHackathon.
