SECOND INTERNATIONAL ROBOFORUM

For the second year running, the world's leading robotics engineers came to Moscow to join an international robotics forum called Roboforum. The event preceded an opening of a robotics exhibition ROBOSTATION organized by Bal Robotov (Grand Ball of Robots) company in the Moscow VDNKh exhibition center. The principal goal of the event is to inspire young people to go into robotics.

The ROBOFORUM participants were robotics stars and top managers from Russia and worldwide. The forum speakers talked about the robotics development prospects in Russia for the next five to twenty years, discussed what qualities and competencies the future engineer in robotics should have and shared their views on how to make children and young people interested in engineer professions.

Among this year’s forum participants there were principals of such companies as Russian Machines – Manfred Eibeck, FANUC Russia – Marco Delaini, the Center for Robotics and Mechatronics in the German Center of Aviation and Aerospace (DLR) – Gerd Hirzinger, director of iCub Department of the Italian Institute of Technology – Giorgio Metta , leading figures in the Russian robotics: vice-rector of the Moscow STANKIN State Technological University Professor Yuri Poduraev, founder of the International Institute of Cybernetics and Artonics Professor Mikhail Ignatiev and many others. More than thirty other scientists and robotics experts arrived from Italy, England, France, USA, Canada, Ireland, Russia and Germany.

A welcoming speech was given by a Soviet cosmonaut, president of the Federation of Cosmonautics of Russia, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, General Vladimir Kovalyonok. He said that our astronauts would be happy to transfer a significant portion of their hard work in space to robots and urged young people to become engineers.
