This year Krasnoyarsk will once again become a magnet for young robotics enthusiasts from Russia and abroad. The
International Robotics Championship "Krasnoyarsk 7.0" will be held from April 16 to 19 and will bring together more than 3,500 participants who won the regional qualifying rounds currently taking place all across Russia.
More than 650 teams from 41 regions of Russia, as well as several foreign countries, with participants aged 4 to 24 will gather to demonstrate their skills and exchange their experience in engineering and technical creativity.
Sixteen diverse competition challenges will cover all skill levels, from beginners to professionals. The season's themes will be "Safe Route," "Hydropower," and "Metallurgy." Participants will develop algorithms for improving the transportation network, use robotics sets to study heavy industry sectors, and design industrial automation.
In April, the Krasnoyarsk Region will be represented by 45 teams from Krasnoyarsk, Sosnovoborsk, Zelenogorsk, Zheleznogorsk, Norilsk, Dudinka, Divnogorsk, Novoberezovka, and Yemelyanovo. The best teams were determined at the qualifying Siberian Championship "Future Engineers" held on February 13-14.
Our Championship is a platform for developing logic and systems thinking, engineering and technical skills, as well as the basics of programming. The students develop and present their inventions, attracting the interest of expert communities, large companies, and businesses. The winners of the Championship will participate in competitions in other countries. We wish the teams success and look forward to seeing them in Krasnoyarsk!Maxim Turushev, Director of the Autonomous Not-For-Profit Organization "Robotics Laboratory 'Future Engineers'"
Young future engineers will be able to participate for the first time in a new challenge – Drone Football. It is aimed at training future specialists in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Students will have the opportunity to test their skills as pilots, strategists, or technical specialists.
The Krasnoyarsk Championship will also present the Technoxian World Robotics Championship ROBO RACE CHALLENGE. The teams' task here is to build their own remotely controlled robot capable of reaching maximum speed on a given track and reaching its destination in the shortest possible time.
Beginners will be welcomed in the "Dare, Robot!" challenge, where participants will assemble an autonomous robot to solve assigned tasks on the field.
Phygital formats will also be represented in two categories: RoboBowling and RoboCurling.
The development of engineering and technical creativity can already be considered one of the hallmarks of Krasnoyarsk. The International Robotics Championship is also a platform for dialogue among professionals. Experts will discuss issues of technological sovereignty, engineering training, talent support, and the development of robotics in the space industry.Sergey Vereshchagin, Mayor of Krasnoyarsk
