Skolkovo Robotics Center will present its best projects at the robotics conference Innorobo 2015, which will take place on 1-3 July in Lyon, France.
Innorobo is a major European event dedicated to robotics and disruptive innovations. The conference will feature thematic master classes and the expo will present the leading R&D in robotics and software. The event will create a unique atmosphere for researches, business leaders, professors, participants and guests, which will provide for the optimal introduction to new technologies in Smart Cities, Smart Homes, Medical & Health, Factories of the Future and Field Robotics. It showcases the latest technologies so attendees can co-define their vision of a foreseeable future and outline their strategy to take the lead of this disruptive transformation
Albert Efimov, Head of Skolkovo Robotics Center: “We have a long history of robotics, which started long before the World War II and it is extremely important that Russian robotics is now represented at a global scale. Skolkovo Robocenter as the leading robotics center in Russia will showcase its six cutting-edge projects at Innorobo and we hope that they will be of interest for our European colleagues.”
Oleg Kivokurtsev, co-founder of Promobot: “Innoboro is a unique opportunity to discover new markets and horizons for our company. We already know that some European businessmen interested in our products will attend the expo in order to meet the members of our team and have a look at the Promobot.”
The robots presented by Skolkovo’s residents can be seen at booth A8-B7, Cité - Centre des Congrès - 50, quai Charles de Gaulle - 69006 LYON - France.

Promobot
Promobot is a multi-purpose supporting robot for places with a large number of people meant for assist in navigation, consultation on issues and directions for customers, highlighting some goods from the total mass of goods, broadcasting of promotional information, increasing sales and collecting relevant information for owners about contacting customers.
ExoAtlet
The key task of ExoAtlet is to speed up the process of rehabilitation of patients with locomotor disorders of the lower limbs, being a result of injury, surgery, diseases of the musculoskeletal system or other neurological disorder. With the help of ExoAtlet many patients will avoid disability. The ExoAtlet can be used by a wide range of patients with locomotor disorders of the lower limbs due to the control system that is based on the signals from force-torque sensors, data from electromyogram coming via preserved nerves from the brain and can use voice control. Control algorithms allow to perform automatic movements of the patient’s legs imitating natural human walking pattern, which can significantly speed up the recovery process and motor nerve activity. With the ExoAtlet patients with paralysis will be able to walk up and down the stairs, sit down and get up without assistance.
Wicron
The Webot is a mobile autonomic system, which allows a person to perform actions at the location of the robot using a PC and the internet. It allows to remotely observe events and converse with other people, see the surroundings and get around with the pace of a man. The robot’s schematics resemble human structure. It has a head, housing a camera and a microphone – your eyes and ears. They are mounted on a turret platform performing head turns like those of a human. Due to modern advances in the teleconference technology the quality of sound and video is only limited by the bandwidth of your internet connection and will dynamically adapt to it
Lexy
Lexy is a home gadget, which you communicate with using your voice. It gives users an ability to use voice channel of communication instead of visual one, like in the case of smartphone or computer. Interaction with Lexy is very easy: user asks Lexy about something and Lexy answers. Also Lexy can be the first to start talk on its own. One of the key features of Lexy is that it's not a question-answer system, but a device with personality, unlike Siri or Google Now. Lexy can feel joy or be bored.
You can simply talk to Lexy, it's the key feature of it. But Lexy is a smart assistant too: it can tell you forecast, e.g., or notify about traffic jams. If you are bored, Lexy can tell you a joke or offer to play some voice game.
Tsuru Robotics
Our product is quadcopter with simplified control system.
Quadcopter has novel design, that allows to manufacture it almost anywhere without complicated preparations. All the nodes of quadcopter are developed by Tsuru Robotics.
Quadcopter has novel control system that was designed to be as simple as possible. The quadcopter control system requires almost no training from operators due to simplified one-hand joystick design.
CyberTech
TRIK kit is a complex solution based on original TRIK controller and TRIK Studio programming environment. TRIK controller is a palm-size (12,5 cm x 8 cm) box with touch screen, 6 programmable buttons and lots of useful connectors. The controller is powered by 3 independent microprocessors onboard and is capable of simultaneous video and audio recognition; sensors’ input processing, motors control; wireless communication via WiFi and/or Bluetooth 4.0, and sensors network management via ANT. TRIK has everything one requires for prototyping autonomous systems and for experiments with multi-agent networks.
About the Skolkovo Foundation
The Skolkovo Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in September 2010 by the Russian government with the objective of accelerating Russia’s transformation from a resource-intensive to an innovation-based economy. To achieve this objective, the Foundation is overseeing the creation of the Skolkovo Innovation Center, composed of more than 1,000 high-tech startups, Skolkovo Technopark, the Skolkovo Institute of Technology (Skoltech) - a new graduate research University established in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - and Skolkovo city, located near Moscow. Together, these entities establish a vibrant ecosystem of technology innovation and entrepreneurship. Fifty global corporations including Boeing, Cisco Systems, EADS, GE, Johnson & Johnson, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Siemens, Nokia, Samsung, and Panasonic have already recognized the opportunity Skolkovo presents by signing R&D partnership agreements with the Foundation. The cumulative revenue of Skolkovo’s startups through December 2014 reached $1 billion. They brought in more than $220 million in investment, creating 13,500 jobs and filing over 1,300 patent applications along the way. By 2020 over 2 million square meters of residential and office space will be built in Skolkovo with 35,000 people working daily in the Innovation Center. For more information: http://www.sk.ru/en
