Robon Night 2015
Friends, click on the link wicron.com/en/queue/62 and control the Webot robot, which is now located at Robonochi 2015 in Skolkovo Hypercube.
Hello!

Today we will talk about robotics, or rather, about the event, whose name is Robonoch!
Skolkovo recently approved the date for this year’s Robonoch, this is October 13, i.e. in less than a week. I did not find interesting articles about this and decided to write it myself!
I’ll try to tell you briefly and without too much water, what was there and what are the organizers’s plans for this year.

For me, this is a new format of educational and entertainment events for Russia. There is something in common with Comic Con, robotics fans gather in one form or another, people in costumes from science fiction, in general, the atmosphere is cool.


To begin with, it is worth noting the venue, and this is the Central Telegraph, I have never been there, I think, like many, so it's interesting to look at it from the inside.
During the night, the organizers offer to participate in the Foresight game, naturally on the topic of robotics, to watch a couple of thematic films, to speak in a discussion club, last year the topic was “Roboethics and the Three Laws of Robotics Isaac Asimov”, even arranged a disco.

But the main thing is, of course, various art installations, stands of event partners, and among them are companies such as Autodesk, Microsoft and National Instruments.
National Instruments brought robotic chess - this complex allows you to physically play chess with a robot, as company representatives said, under the figures there are reed magnets, the drive controls the movement of the pieces, the robot analyzes the move and moves the pieces. A funny thing actually.

Autodesk organized a zone where they painted portraits of participants in their software environment on Wacom graphics tablets.

I do exoskeletons at IPMekh, so I met some guys from ExoAtlet who knew me, they just showed their latest achievements, guys who are open, so if anyone is interested you can contact them.

There was also a bunch of small robots that could be controlled and even a little bit involved in the assembly process.



It's nice that an atmosphere has been created in which you can easily communicate with all the guys representing their projects and company representatives, they very enthusiastically begin to answer all questions, the energy of the event contributes!

In principle, the purpose of this event is to have fun, meet new interesting people, possibly future colleagues, and those who are younger will be able to chat with people who are engaged in real projects in robotics and it is possible to find a direction for their future activities.

This year, Skolkovo promises that it will be even cooler and, in principle, described everything in sufficient detail on the robotics.timepad.ru/event/252532 website , by the way, for those who are interested to go, there was a stir last year, registration was closed very quickly, so a couple of my friends did not have time. True, this year she will be in the Skolkovo Hypercube. Go further (transfers promise free), but the famous Hypercube building can be seen live (www.the-village.ru/village/city/interior/169287-giperkub-v-skolkove ).
This time they promise more eminent guests, more diverse robotic projects, more master classes, there will be a quest, there will be a group performance with live music, there will be a show with robots and again a disco! In general, there will be a lot of things according to the organizers, but we'll see there.

Well, somehow, if there are any questions, I will be glad to answer.
From myself I’ll say that the event is worth it!
