A Rostelecom delegation, led by the company's president, alumnus, and Honorary Doctor of our university, Mikhail Oseevsky, visited Polytechnic University. The highlight of the visit was a meeting with the "Omnivorous" team.
SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy held a working meeting with Mikhail Oseevsky. They discussed future cooperation and outlined plans for the implementation of promising joint projects. Mikhail Oseevsky was also awarded the Andrei Grigoryevich Gagarin Commemorative Medal.
Then, the Rostelecom president met with the Omnivores team. They are participants in the international Robot Battle championship: semifinalists in 2023, bronze medalists in 2024, and2025 winnersAt the championship, they are competing with the Honey Badger robot. This robot is a showcase of the children's engineering skills, as it requires knowledge in all areas, from modeling and computer design to milling, metal welding, and soldering. The "Omnivores" do all of this themselves. 80% of the Honey Badger's production process is autonomous, thanks to a laboratory opened in the Polytech Tower with the support of SKB System Engineering. The project's general partner is PJSC Rostelecom.
During the meeting, the "Omnivores" showed Mikhail Oseevsky the lab and explained in detail all the stages of robot development and creation. They also demonstrated their capabilities and shared their plans for 2026.
"Preparations for the 'Battle of the Robots,' the re-equipment, and refinement of the Medoyed are being carried out under the personal supervision of Mikhail Eduardovich," Andrey Rudskoy emphasized. "I express my deep gratitude to him for his connection with the alma mater and his support of our initiatives—research, cultural, and youth projects."
