The Austrian Society for Innovative Computer Science (INNOC) is an association based in Vienna , which has set itself the task of promoting the creative use of new technologies in the field of computer science and related areas.
history
The company was founded on May 7, 2005. The president is the founding member Roland Stelzer. His power of representation ends on April 29, 2011. The association has been a member of the Science Center network since 2007 . Since May 14, 2009 it has been legally recognized as a research and teaching institution.
aims
According to its statute, the association, whose activities are not geared towards profit, aims to promote research and teaching in the field of innovative computer science , as well as to promote innovative developments through basic and applied research. The knowledge gained in the association is made available to the public. The target group are adolescents and young adults who are interested in technology and who are to be offered low-threshold access to science , research and high technology .
Projects
Centrobot
The Centrobot project was a cross-border initiative in the Vienna-Bratislava region that ran from 2008 to 2010 and dealt with research and development in the field of robotics . Her tasks included running the Virtual Robotic Lab at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava and the open research and development laboratory Happylab in Vienna.
Centrobot was financed by the European Regional Development Fund , the Federal Ministry for Science and Research and the Federal Ministry for Economy, Family and Youth and supported by the Raiffeisenlandesbank Niederösterreich-Wien .
Other activities of the Centrobot project include the organization of scientific congresses and the organization of international robot competitions. In Breitenbrunn am Neusiedler See , Centrobot organized Austria's first robot sailing world championship from May 18 to 25, 2008 with teams from Austria, Canada , Portugal and the United Kingdom .
Happylab
After the Centrobot project ended, the Happylab in Vienna was continued as an independent project. Another Happylab opened in Salzburg in October 2014 and a location in Berlin in 2016. The equipment in the electronics sector , for example, includes laboratory power supplies , soldering stations , a digital 4-channel storage oscilloscope , a UV exposure device , a circuit board etching machine , circuit board scissors and a PIC programming device. The other areas are similarly extensively equipped. There are no technical restrictions and no prior knowledge is required.
Robot Challenge
The Robot Challenge is a robot competition that is organized annually by INNOC in cooperation with the Federal Ministry for Science and Research. The first Robot Challenge took place in 2004. The competition has developed into the largest robotics competition in Austria and one of the largest in Europe. Up to and including 2010, teams from 20 countries including Austria, Denmark , Germany , Finland , Great Britain, Croatia , Malta , Peru , Poland , Romania , Russia , Sweden , Slovakia , Switzerland , Spain , South Africa , the Czech Republic , Turkey and Hungary took part.

Roboat
The Roboat project has set itself the goal of developing an autonomous robotic sailing boat that can independently head for any destination after entering the coordinates . As a concrete application of this technology, a project in the field of whale research in the Pacific is planned in cooperation with Oregon State University .
The Roboat 2006 , developed between 2005 and 2006 , equipped with sensors and a Linux computer, won the first European competition in fully autonomous sailing, the Microtransat 2006 near Toulouse . As a basis for this prototype of the later developed ASV Roboat the 1.38-meter-long yacht model served Atlantis Robbe Modellsport.
The ASV Roboat , built in 2007, is based on the Laerling boat model designed by Jan Herman Linge . ASV stands for Autonomous Sailing Vessel . With a length of 3.75 m and 1.35 m width, the boat is constructed similarly to many larger regatta boats . The ASV Roboat won the world championship in the robot sailing in Austria in May 2008 and increased its 2009 title at the World Cup in Portugal and 2010 in Canada and 2011 in Germany to successfully defend.
Maria Theresa Wiki
The Maria Theresia wiki has set itself the task of publishing and expanding the scientific experience and knowledge gained in the association. The aim is to build up an extensive collection of knowledge on all aspects of artificial intelligence , robotics, hardware construction and related topics. The wiki is named after the Habsburg princess Maria Theresa .
Simple sensor network
The goal of the protocol called Simple Sensor Network (SSN) is to simplify the connection, communication and data transmission of a large number of different sensors and actuators and thereby facilitate the maintenance, handling and expansion of robotic systems. The results of this research project were published under the title Simple Communication Protocol for Rapid Robot Prototyping .
Cooperations
INNOC works with numerous national and international scientific partners. The association's cooperation partners include the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien , the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, the Higher Technical Federal Teaching and Research Institute Spengergasse, Robotika.sk, the Board of European Students of Technology , De Montfort University in Leicester and the Science Center- Network.
financing
The association is financed by national and international public funds , by company partners and by voluntary donations. The Austrian public sponsors include the Department of Culture of the City of Vienna, the Federal Ministry for Science and Research, the Federal Ministry for Economy, Family and Youth, the Research, Innovation, Technology - Information Technology (FIT-IT) initiative of the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology , the Federal Ministry for Education, Art and Culture and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG). International public funding agencies are the European Regional Development Fund and the Slovakia-Austria cross-border cooperation program.
