The Polytechnic University held a regional robotics Olympiad for students from St. Petersburg universities. Representatives from the Higher School of Automation and Robotics of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport at SPbPU took first place in both the team and individual competitions.

The annual Robotics Olympiad was organized by the Committee for Science and Higher Education of the Government of St. Petersburg in partnership with the Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI." The Higher School of Automation and Robotics of SPbPU served as the event's operator in partnership with Kaspersky Lab.

This year, a record number of teams—17 from ten St. Petersburg universities—appeared in the Olympiad. Vladimir Glukhov, Advisor to the Rector's Office of SPbPU; Nadezhda Grashchenko, Head of the Directorate of Main Educational Programs at SPbPU; Denis Kozlikin, Deputy Director for Research at the Institute of Mathematics and Information Technology; Olga Matsko, Director of the Higher School of Architecture and Russian Studies; and Olga Blitshtein, a representative of Kaspersky Lab, addressed the participants with welcoming remarks.

The jury included representatives from the participating universities. Students from the HSE University of Architecture and Radio Engineering (HSAR) and the PoliRoboTech student engineering association provided technical support to the teams. The Olympiad has been held at the Polytechnic University since 2008, and its organization has improved each year. First and foremost, the challenge was updated to reflect the latest trends in robotics. The organizers prepared a new, technologically advanced testing ground and unique robots. However, the biggest surprise for the participants was that the traditional robotic challenges were supplemented with relevant cyberimmunity challenges. A digital twin, which replicated the specifics of the testing ground and the robot's behavior, allowed the students to test their solutions in advance and develop a strategy for their performance at the Olympiad.

"A cyber-immune approach to design safety is one of the key areas of modern robotics. We modeled real-world threats that robotic systems face in the digital world so that future engineers can learn to create not only smart but also secure robots," said Andrey Klinovitsky, head of the PoliRoboTech association.

In the individual competition, SPbPU student Yegor Meshkov (fourth-year student at the Higher School of Architecture and Radio Engineering) took gold. Second place was shared by Voenmech students Sergey Filyanov and Alexander Bezukhov. Third place was taken by Voenmech students Danil Zhukov and Semyon Dudnikov, as well as SPbPU student Elizaveta Skornyakova (fourth-year student at the Higher School of Architecture and Radio Engineering).

Students from the M. A. Bonch-Bruevich St. Petersburg State University of Telecommunications (SPbSUT) won the team competition. The Polytechnic team, comprised of fourth-year students from the Higher School of Architecture and Radio Engineering (HSAEiR) Alexander Timofeev, Artyom Tabunshchik, Vadim Berko, Anatoly Moiseenko, and Mikhail Orlov, took a respectable second place. The team from the St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University (SPbGMTU) took third place.
