Professionals of the St. Petersburg Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SPC RAS) have learned to recognize human speech by lips via artificial intelligence algorithms and "computer vision". The development will contribute to improving the accuracy of voice assistants in noisy environment, like, crowded places or at controling heavy machinery.

Researchers of SPC RAS have developed a domestic digital system for managing the agro-industrial facilities. The development operates on domestic software, it can be individually configured for efficient and automated production of various types of agricultural products and controlled remotely via the Internet from personal computer or smartphone.

Congratulations to the staff members of SPC RAS on receiving grants from the Russian Science Foundation!

Anton Savelyev, Head of the Laboratory of Autonomous Robotic Systems at SPC RAS, Polina Chernousova, Head of the Scientific and Organizational Department at SPC RAS, Konstantin Kamynin, Software Developer of the Laboratory of Autonomous Robotic Systems at SPC RAS. Dina Asfar, Specialist of the “Engineering Garage” Department of the Engineering School at the State University of Aerospace Instrumentation, Alexander Tristanovtold, Director of the Institute for Digital Technologies of the Kaliningrad State Technical University - told about the prospects and possibilities of introducing the complex into educational practice, the development of a ground-based robotic platform for online learning of programming in Python, methodological manuals on setting up robots and developing software as part of training courses

Right now, robotics is one of the leading research areas that opens up great opportunities for enhancing automation and labor productivity in various sectors of the Russian economy – from industry and agriculture to space exploration and cargo delivery.

Research team of the laboratory of autonomous robotic systems presented various modifications for a ground-based robotic platform, like GD-4 UAV designed to solve problems in the agricultural sector of the economy, a set of specialized sensor bracelets, and also a drone for playing football.

On March 21, 2023 was a Joint meeting of the Public Council at the Committee for Informatization and Communications and the Scientific Council for Informatization of St. Petersburg.

Workshop took place on March 14 at the premises of SPC RAS, in the already familiar hybrid format; three presentations were delivered, versatilely highlighting the problem under discussion and approaches to its solving.

Alexander N. Motienko, an employee of SPC RAS, who took part in the rescue operation in Turkey, as a part of the “Extremum” volunteers’ team, returned to St. Petersburg St. Petersburg search and rescue volunteers’ team "Extremum" consisting of 30 people has completed emergency rescue operations and elimination of consequences in the earthquake zone in Turkey..

Dr. Elena Fedorchenko, Senior Researcher of the Laboratory of Computer Security Problems at SPC RAS, attended the II Conclave of Young Scientists from the member countriesof the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and delivered there a presentation that covered some research results concerning: "Intelligent Methods for Security Assessment and Response to Cyber Security Incidents in Critical Infrastructures".
