3. Skolkovo Robotics Center Foresights
• Improvement of perception, cognition,
autonomous navigation, tele- and supervisory
control and planning of robotics systems in
dynamic non-deterministic environment of all kinds
(underwater, underground, surface, air and space);
• New hardware or software for human-machine
interaction and collaborate behaviour of robots,
cloud robotics, natural con- trol interfaces and
machine learning for robots, including industrial or
service applications;
• Human augmentation systems including industrial
or rehabilita- tion exoskeletons, intelligent
prostheses;
• New equipment, sensors and software for medical
robotics, robots for surgery including micro- and
nano robotics.
Any robotics projects hoping to receive Skolkovo
resident status should base their innovation on at
least one of the above areas.

4. Solved and UNsolved
Problems of Modern
Robotics
Сommunication (4G, WiFi)
Sensors, Navigation
Processor power.
Moore’s Law
Mobility
Awareness, cognition, artificial intelligence,
interaction with the environment, group
behavior (3-8 years)
Manipulation with objects. Reducing the cost
of HW and component (3-5 years)
The main limitations of the current service robotics:
awareness of the environment and the robot manipulation
with objects of the world.

5. Amendment to the
Foresight
«Intelligent robotics and autonomous vehicles »
We suggest to include
• Application of artificial intelligence
technologies, including deep learning
neural networks to create products and
solutions that provide intelligent support
for humans in relation to computer and
robotic systems.
