WISEbot137
Summary
People - especially scientists - use their computers to analyze huge sets of data, collect it and view it. Hundreds of hours are lost in analyzing data.Our project automates long and tedious processes for collecting and viewing data. Using a software called Uipath, people can tell the computer what and which data to collect, and the computer would speed up and complete the process while people could have time for other research. Our project can solve immense problems related to analyzing and collecting data, and is created to help as many people as possible. WISEbot137 is fully functional, guaranteed to assist anyone, and ready to make a difference in the world.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We developed a project called WISEbot137 using a software called Uipath. It is a research assistant robot. Our project is important as it automates the tedious and long process for analyzing and collecting data. In Uipath, we programmed all the steps to open a browser, enter the URL, click the filters and dates we wanted take screenshots and output the results to a word document. The software used a list of dates from a csv file, so all we had to do was change the dates in the file and the software would go to the website and take a snapshot for the results of each date entered. For our example, we used a webpage that showed temperatures across the globe for whichever date the user enters. We were able to quickly get a word document with screenshots for any range of dates we wanted.
How We Developed This Project
Our team - consisting of my brother and I - were inspired to choose this challenge because of our father. He mentioned that there was a new software, Uipath, that was helping people at large companies manage their data. We decided to use the software to help space agencies manage their data in an easier way. A problem we faced was when we accidentally interfered when the computer was completing the process. Everything stopped and we had to replay the process for it to work. The achievements were when we fixed the problems and perfected it.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
There are two URLs that the computer automatically navigates to are:
https:/climatedata.ca
vis.globe.gov/GLOBE/#
Based on these websites and what we told it to do, the computer automatically navigated to one website and found the temperatures affecting the world for the past three years. Then, it navigated to the other and continued looking. It then took screenshots of the data and saved it to a separate word document so the image can be compared easily.
