Organizers

The main feature of Skolkovo Robotics is the continuous evolution of its format. We are constantly in search of a format that is most appealing to our visitors. One of their wishes that became apparent after we conducted a poll, was to have all the events on one day. Not only have we granted this particular wish, but we have also combined all events within a single site. So at least as far as the plenary part is concerned, visitors won’t be torn between several different venues anymore.

There’s been a lot of talking and writing about robots in the last 70 years, making sci-fi films about them; but nobody ever took Terminator-style fiction seriously, except maybe teenagers. Nevertheless, robots, however you may define them, are gradually becoming a substantial part of our daily life, from quadcopters often flying above our heads to ‘smart’ programs that win in computer games and in Go, control complex industrial production and help those in need of assistance. Though we are far from living Isaac Asimov’s fantasies, by now they are quite realistic.

This is already our third year supporting the Skolkovo Robotics conference, which never fails to demonstrate the astonishing advances of Russian robotics.Here we can observe the latest inventions of Russian scientists, share experience with our western colleagues and keep up to date with worldwide trends in the industry.What is most important is that the conference helps form a positive view of robotics. Numerous people on Earth are still scared of robotization, many are simply not ready to accept that the future is already here.Events like Skolkovo Robotics change alter people’s notions about robotics and demonstrate that innovation makes our lives simpler.

The list of speakers is impressive! It was interesting to listen to super- professional people.

Skolkovo Robotics by our visitors

Head of commercial enterprise

Head of development in software house

The talks that I visited turned out to be very interesting and useful for my further work. They helped determine the direction for future projects of mine and of the company that I work for.

It was very interesting. Skolkovo conferences always enrich me with ideas, and I would love to visit the one next year. I had really wanted to attend several events simultaneously, so it would be great if the next conference got stretched over two days and it were possible to visit twice as many presentations and talks.

In general I have found the conference to have been very enlightening. Had to choose between the “Marketing and Investments” and “Agricultural Robots” sections; it’s a pity I couldn’t be present at both at the same time.
