Working session

The use of robots and unmanned technologies in the Arctic

Project*

 


The use of robotic equipment in the Arctic is due to the severe natural and climatic conditions of the region. Today, Russian scientists are developing samples of automated complexes that can be used for underwater (ice) works on the Arctic shelf, for monitoring the environmental situation, and for prospecting for minerals.

If Arctic robots are in the development stage, unmanned technologies are already used by scientists, military and representatives of extractive companies. However, this does not happen systematically.

The working session will discuss the prospects for using unmanned vehicles and robotics for large-scale projects in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

Issues for discussion:

  • Development trends and features of unmanned aerial vehicles in the Arctic
  • Russian developments that increase the efficiency and safety of the study of the polar region
  • Arctic Robotics: areas of application and development of domestic manufacturers
  • Prospects for the use of underwater robots in the Arctic
