It is a great honor for us to receive such a representative delegation interested in getting acquainted with the advanced developments of our scientists, – noted the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy. – Today, our university is one of the leading scientific and educational centers, where innovative ideas are born and the most daring engineering projects are implemented. We are proud of the achievements of our researchers and are happy to share our accumulated experience. I am sure that your visit will open up new prospects for our scientists, for the interaction of the university with the industrial sector and various branches of the economy. We are ready to share our developments and are open to dialogue, which will undoubtedly contribute to the development of science and technological leadership of our country.

During the visit, government officials learned about the latest achievements of the Polytechnic’s research teams, saw the unique equipment developed at the university and the products manufactured on it, including those ordered by industrial partners.

The acquaintance began with a visit to laboratories and centers engaged in additive manufacturing. In the Laboratory of Lightweight Materials and Structures, the delegation members were told about additive electric arc growing (WAAM), and were shown the first robotic WAAM printer in the Russian Federation and other installations. They were also presented with the technology for manufacturing parts using friction stir welding on a robotic complex of their own production.

The staff of the Research Laboratory "Laser and Additive Technologies" of the Institute of Metallurgical Engineering and Technology presented the mobile laser cladding complex "Nomad". This is a unique development for Russia, created on a single platform using a robot, a powder feeder and a high-precision laser. The complex is compact and mobile: it can be easily transported for on-site work on the restoration of large-sized and specialized products. With its help, key elements of gas turbine engines of both Russian and foreign manufacture have already been restored.

Another development that has attracted interest is the laser welding complex for hydrogen energy source fuel cells. This is the only equipment in the country that has produced more than 700 hydrogen energy source fuel cells, 350 of which are undergoing sea trials on board the Ecobalt vessel.

The guests were also shown hip joint cups created by a combined method, using the technology of applying a porous coating to the blank. Now the laboratory is creating a production complex that will allow serial production of up to 40 thousand such products per year.

It is important for us to show developments live – not on slides, but in action. This is the only way to truly convey the scale and potential of these technologies, – said the director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport Anatoly Popovich. – When guests see examples of work created by the hands of engineers and scientists, this turns from an abstract innovation into a subject of real interest and further support.

The guests also learned that the Polytechnic University became the first university to have a section for serial production of gas turbine engine parts: nozzle assemblies and injectors. In addition, SPbPU has the first domestically produced high-temperature 3D printing equipment in Russia and Western Europe, which allows for the growth of products with a directional structure.

In the lobby of the Technopolis Polytech Research Building, delegations presented scientific and technical developments by young scientists and engineers, including university students.

The achievements of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering" were presented by the Deputy Head of the Engineering Center (CompMechLab®) of SPbPU Nikolay Efimov-Soini. He spoke about a unique Russian development focused on ensuring the design and production of globally competitive high-tech products in various industries and in new markets in the shortest possible time — the CML-Bench® Digital Platform. Nikolay Konstantinovich emphasized that dozens of breakthrough projects have been implemented on the CML-Bench® Digital Platform to develop digital twins of products for high-tech industries, including engine building, aircraft manufacturing, nuclear energy, oil and gas, automotive manufacturing, shipbuilding, shipbuilding and medicine, in accordance with the national standard of the Russian Federation — GOST R 57700.37–2021 "Computer models and modeling. DIGITAL DOUBLES OF PRODUCTS. General Provisions".

In accordance with the current needs of industrial enterprises and the unmanned aircraft systems sector, SPbPU Advanced Engineering School is adapting the Digital Platform for the Development and Application of Digital Twins CML-Bench® to the UAS industry. The digital platform CML-Bench.BASTM has been supplemented with a system for constructing virtual test benches and testing grounds for conducting digital tests of both individual UAS elements and the aircraft as a whole. In addition, the platform includes a Digital Certification module, which allows for full-scale certification tests to be passed the first time by conducting a large number of preliminary digital tests. This reduces the cost of development, the timing and cost of certification work, and also accelerates the launch of products to the market, – noted Alexander Gordeev, Deputy Head of the Experimental Design Bureau of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering".

At the stand, guests saw a prototype of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) "Snegir-1.5", created in 2024 on the basis of the CML-Bench® Digital Platform for flight tests, control system development, validation and verification of calculation models. And Nikolay Efimov-Soini presented innovative solutions of particular interest for the development of UAVs that are competitive in terms of technical characteristics – demonstrators of overprinting technologies, induction welding of thermoplastic composite materials and automated laying of thermoplastic unidirectional prepregs.

Among the developments of the SPbPU PISh "Digital Engineering" there was also a full-scale sample of an anti-debris filter – a high-tech solution created in the interests of JSC TVEL (part of the Fuel Division of the Rosatom State Corporation) and ensuring the uninterrupted operation of equipment in extreme operating conditions.

Optimization technologies made it possible to generate a design with a large number of "needles" that form the optimal internal microstructure of the channels to intensify heat exchange. At the same time, the design provides rigidity and dynamic strength under the impact of foreign objects weighing up to 200 grams, flying at a speed of up to 6 meters per second, – emphasized Nikolay Efimov-Soini. – As a result, due to the use of digital design and additive manufacturing methods, the filtration efficiency has increased by 10 times.

Let us recall that at the International Industrial Exhibition INNOPROM-2025 specialists from the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering" presented a model of the UAV "Snegir-2", a prototype of which will be created in August 2025.

The Center for Technology Projects demonstrated the Morena unmanned boat for hydrographic and search operations and the Octopus-M remotely controlled unmanned underwater vehicle.

The students' developments aroused keen interest among the guests. Thus, the Polytech Voltage Machine student association presented a firefighting robot on a caterpillar track called "Freze" and an unmanned truck.

And the guys from the Student Design Bureau showed the first modification of the combat robot Honey Badger and shared that in its third version it won bronze atInternational Championship "Battle of Robots" in 2024.

Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has won a grant from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation to conduct scientific research jointly with Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Wuhan, China).

The project “Advanced technologies of interactive multi-agent interaction and control for an intelligent cyber-physical system under conditions of uncertainty for transport systems” is led by Vyacheslav Shkodyrev, Director of the Scientific and Technological Complex “Mathematical Modeling and Intelligent Control Systems”.

The main objective of the project is to improve the efficiency of group control of the interaction of distributed industrial unmanned vehicles, as well as their autonomous operation, using new methods and models of multi-objective optimization based on the concept of intellectualization of cyber-physical systems with the architecture of interacting cognitive-learning agents to achieve a common strategic control goal.

As technology advances, the application of intelligent cyber-physical systems is becoming more widespread in such industries as smart transportation, industrial automation, manufacturing logistics, etc. However, in complex and unknown environments, these systems face a number of limitations, including insufficient autonomous intelligence, unbalanced task distribution, low collaboration performance, and limited rational decision-making capabilities. Scientists will work to address these and other issues to provide technological support for the efficient operation of intelligent cyber-physical systems.

It is planned to use the advantages of the two universities in research on interactive technologies of multi-criteria search and control, in particular in research on the operation of intelligent cyber-physical systems under uncertainty. One of their tasks is to optimize large language models using data obtained from jointly developed adequate simulation models in combination with real data. This should ensure the generation of effective decompositions into subtasks and more accurate schemes for distributing complex tasks, which, together with cognitive control methods, will lead to the formation of safe and effective schemes for autonomous planning and control when performing multiple tasks.

This is important for the intellectual development of vehicle control systems in industrial and other conditions. The practical significance of the project also lies in the fact that its results can be used not only in industry, but also to ensure public safety and in the elimination of the consequences of natural disasters.

The project is designed for 2.5 years. Scientists plan to combine their knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence and control to create innovative solutions in the field of unmanned transport.

This grant is an important victory that opens up new opportunities for international collaboration. The implementation of the project will allow us to combine the advanced scientific approaches of the two countries to develop innovative solutions in the field of industrial unmanned transport systems management, – commented Vice-Rector for Research Yuri Fomin.

A group of scientists from the Institute of Civil Engineering of SPbPU, led by Associate Professor of the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering Oleg Stolyarov, continues to develop lightweight thin-walled building structures made of textile-reinforced concrete with prestressing. In 2024, the project received grant support from the Russian Science Foundation, which made it possible to expand the possibilities for conducting experiments and analyzing data.

The research group includes associate professors Pavel Mostovykh and Tatyana Koryakovtseva, as well as graduate student and assistant Anna Dontsova.

Textile-reinforced concrete is a combination of textile reinforcing meshes and fine-grained concrete. The advantages of these elements are the absence of corrosion, lower weight and the ability to create complex shapes. Over the past two decades, this material has found its niche in construction and is used for enclosing structures, coatings, urban infrastructure elements and small architectural forms.

The aim of the project is to increase the potential of thin-walled structures with fiber reinforcement due to prestressing the reinforcement. Prestressed concrete helps reduce the negative effect of poor tensile properties of concrete, increase the rigidity of the structure, reduce its deformations, increase resistance to crack formation and limit their opening. Structures with prestressed steel reinforcement have significant advantages over non-stressed analogues – smaller deflections and increased resistance to crack formation. A similar principle can be successfully implemented in fiber composites, which opens up new prospects for the use of prestressed textile reinforcement in construction.

The results of the studies showed that prestressing significantly affects the mechanical properties of concrete composites.

Thin-walled structures made of textile-reinforced concrete are a revolution in the creation of sustainable, lightweight and bold architectural solutions, says project manager Oleg Stolyarov.

On July 25, at 08:54 Moscow time, the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with the Fregat upper stage was launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome, which delivered two heliogeophysical spacecraft Ionosfera-M No. 3 and No. 4, as well as a group of 18 small space satellites, to their calculated orbits.

The launch of the Ionosfera-M series satellites completed the formation of a group of four devices of the Ionozond space complex, which will monitor the geophysical environment to conduct fundamental scientific research and solve applied problems.

The complex was created in the interests of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Federal Service of Russia for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring. The Ionosfera-M satellites are designed for a comprehensive study of the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere. They will observe various physical processes in the ionosphere, including natural and man-made impacts, changes in electromagnetic fields, atmospheric composition, and ozone distribution. The data obtained will be used by Roshydromet in combination with ground-based observations. The Russian Academy of Sciences plans to conduct ground-space experiments to study the ionosphere's response to natural phenomena such as hurricanes and volcanic eruptions.

Also, 18 small satellites have been launched into orbit. Nine of them were created by Geoscan and will be engaged in photographing the Earth, tracking the movement of ships and aircraft, exploring near space and much more. Some of the devices are intended for educational purposes.

Ivan Bortnik, Advisor to the General Director of the Foundation for Assistance to Innovations, highly appreciated the significance of today's launch: "This is a great achievement for Roscosmos – the completion of the formation of the Ionosfera-M satellite group for research by our scientists, representatives of fundamental science. Also in this launch are many devices from private satellite-building companies. One of the devices from the Geoscan company is included inSpace Pi project, this is important for the Innovation Promotion Fund and for the Polytechnic University as the founder and leader of the project. This is the first of a series of satellites with which schoolchildren will be able to hunt for supernovae. We, as the Innovation Promotion Fund, held a competition and determined the winners who will begin to manufacture such devices; I hope that they will fly next year."

According to Ivan Bortnik, the nanosatellite "239Alferov" of the Presidential Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 239 and the Lyceum "Physics and Technology School named after Zh. I. Alferov" will open a new direction of the Space Pi project – the launch of target devices. This is the first of a series of satellites equipped with X-ray sensors that will hunt for supernovae. This will be possible thanks to the network of ground stations created by the company "Geoscan", covering almost the entire territory of Russia.

The Polytechnic University has taken on a serious project — the Institute of Civil Engineering of SPbPU is thinking about how to build quickly and efficiently in the Arctic. A research group led by associate professors of the Higher School of Design and Architecture of the Institute of Civil Engineering Elena Ladik and Maria Drebezgova is developing a concept for modular structures that can be quickly assembled in the harsh conditions of the Arctic. The work takes into account the complexities of the Arctic climate and the need to build facilities in a short time — this is an important condition for the successful development of the region.

The development of the polytechnicians is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Arctic region. The relevance of the project is that it helps solve several problems at once, such as the development of natural resources, the development of infrastructure in hard-to-reach places, environmental protection and the creation of normal living conditions for people.

Last year, the research team investigated the development potential of northern territories, studied foreign and domestic experience in designing modular architecture and developed a concept for quickly erected residential, public and laboratory modules adapted to extreme climatic conditions. The results of the study were presented at all-Russian forums and conferences, where they received high praise from the expert community.

Next year, scientists plan to apply their developments in pilot projects. Research will continue, now with an emphasis on modeling the engineering systems of territories, refining design calculations and selecting optimal building materials for the Far North. A multidisciplinary approach will allow the project to be implemented more quickly.

Modular buildings are a real find for the Arctic. They are easy to move from place to place, save energy, are made of modern materials that retain heat well and are not afraid of harsh weather. Perhaps it is modular architecture that will become a key direction in the Arctic construction industry.

“The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the results in assessing prefabricated block modules, developing architectural solutions in design practice for residential and research stations in the Arctic regions, as well as in developing recommendations for their further use based on the developed principles,” said project manager and associate professor at the Civil Engineering Institute Elena Ladik.

The 15th anniversary industrial exhibition INNOPROM continues its work in Yekaterinburg. Today the pavilions opened their doors to all categories of visitors, and the flow of guests has noticeably increased. The trend of this year's exhibition is the demonstration of advanced developments that have already proven their effectiveness in real production conditions.

The delegation of the Polytechnic University takes part in key events of the business program, where current issues of industrial development, innovative technologies and scientific and technical cooperation are discussed.

Thus, at the Polytechnic stand, a cooperation agreement was signed between the Federal State Autonomous Institution “Digital Industrial Technologies” and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

The document, which envisages cooperation between the parties in order to implement joint expert and analytical activities aimed at highlighting the results and stimulating the development and effective application of advanced digital and production technologies, artificial intelligence technologies in industrial sectors of the Russian Federation economy, was signed by the director of the organization Eduard Shantayev and the chief designer for the key scientific and technological development area of SPbPU "System Digital Engineering", director of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering" Alexey Borovkov.

Alexey Borovkov also took part in the events of the INNOPROM business program, including the session "Fast. Complex. Precise. How additive technologies accelerate industrial development." The participants discussed the prospects for industry growth due to increased demand for additive technologies and materials, tools for interaction between business, science and the state, as well as successful cases of implementing such technologies in industry.

During his speech, Alexey Ivanovich spoke about a world-class project carried out in the interests of the Fuel Division of the Rosatom State Corporation – the development of a digital twin of a VVER-1000 fuel assembly (FA) with an anti-debris filter and mixing grids.

The optimized design of the anti-debris filter and the geometry of the mixing grids of the fuel assembly was developed in six months and, in contrast to the original product, is 10 times more efficient, the speaker emphasized.

Alexey Borovkov also presented the developments of the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering", including demonstrators of overprinting and induction welding technologies for thermoplastic composite materials, as well as automated laying out of thermoplastic unidirectional prepregs.

According to Alexey Borovkov, overprinting technology is ideal for working with engineering polymers due to the absence of a number of technological limitations and is of great interest for integration into large technological chains: laying out – stamping – printing.

An award ceremony was held at the Polytechnic stand. For his great contribution to the development of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, the General Director of the Union of Defense Industry Enterprises of the Sverdlovsk Region Vladimir Shchelokov received the "For Merits" badge of distinction. The honorary award was presented to him by the Scientific Secretary of SPbPU Dmitry Karpov.

SPbPU is an active member of the Union. The University improves the quality of personnel training in the military-industrial complex, as well as in the field of scientific research and educational services. The Union participates in the implementation of federal target programs and technology platforms to achieve leadership in the leading high-tech sectors of the economy: aviation and engine building, rocket and space industry, nuclear power complex, shipbuilding, electronic and radio-electronic industry and others. The Union includes more than 100 enterprises and organizations.

It is a great honor for me to receive this award. I would like to express my gratitude for the fruitful cooperation with the Polytechnic University. A distinctive feature of your university is the ability to implement projects, and visual confirmation of this can be seen at the exhibition stand. There is much to learn from the Polytechnic University. And I am sincerely proud of our friendship, – said Vladimir Shchelokov.

In turn, Vladimir Shchelokov awarded the director of the Center for Scientific and Technological Partnership and Targeted Training of SPbPU Oleg Ipatov with a commemorative medal “80 Years of the Great Victory”.

This year, INNOPROM pays special attention to machines, units, machine tools and robotic systems that are actively used in various industries today. The technological potential of SPbPU is presented at a separate stand. Here, visitors can get acquainted with innovative developments that have undergone practical testing and are ready for implementation in industrial production.

At the exhibition, a team from the Laboratory of Light Materials and Structures (LLMS) of IMMiT demonstrated electric arc 3D printing. Right before the eyes of the audience, a "Laval nozzle" was created – a gas channel of a special profile designed to accelerate the gas flow to supersonic speeds.

The printing technology is based on melting metal wire using an electric arc. This approach allows for high-speed production of products: up to 2.2 kg/h for aluminum alloys and up to 6 kg/h for steel. The key advantage is the absence of restrictions on the shape of the part: the manipulator easily moves along the rail system and follows the growth of the product, which allows for the implementation of the concept of an open production cell.

The laboratory carries out a full cycle of implementation of additive technologies – design and launch of 3D printing installations, personnel training, technical support and production support.

Mikhail Kuznetsov, Head of the Laser and Additive Technologies Research Laboratory at the Institute of Metallurgy and Metallurgy at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, spoke about the laboratory's work at INNOPROM: At the exhibition, we presented the "Nomad" laser cladding complex, samples made using laser welding and additive technologies. Of particular interest are the hip joint cups. The samples were made as part of R&D in close cooperation with the Armalit JSC company with the participation of the Vreden Institute of Traumatology and are evidence of how modern solutions can effectively work to address the challenges of import substitution and technological sovereignty of the country. We held a number of productive meetings with industry representatives and engineering centers from different regions of Russia. It is especially valuable that enterprises from a wide variety of industries, from aircraft manufacturing to medicine, are interested in our technologies. This indicates a high degree of versatility and applied significance of our solutions.

The Polytechnic University was also represented in the international agenda of the forum. Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Computer Technology and Information Systems of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Leading Researcher of the Gazpromneft-Polytech Scientific and Educational Center, Analyst in the project "Automation of Seismic Data Processing Using Artificial Neural Networks" Sergey Khlopin took part in the round table "Russian-Chinese Scientific and Technical Cooperation in the Field of Development and Implementation of High Technologies". As part of the session "Projects and Technologies in the Field of Intellectual Production", he made a report "Current Models for the Implementation of Digital Technological Projects in the Field of Geological Exploration". Sergey Vladimirovich spoke about the cooperation between SPbPU and Chinese partners.

Sergey Khlopin, commenting on the results of his speech, noted: This year, INNOPROM-2025 became a platform for demonstrating the start of the work process of Gazpromneft-Polytech REC specialists in the field of AI application for geological exploration. One of the key tasks that the models being created will be aimed at solving in the future is the labor-intensive manual processing of seismic information. In tests, the model shows accuracy comparable to classical methods on linear data, but significantly exceeds them in cases with nonlinear dependencies, which are more common in practice. However, the project has just started, so the team faces various difficulties during development. Neural networks do not always give the correct result. We are solving the problem of the relevance of the data received.

Since 2018, Polytech has implemented more than 20 contracts for research and development work with 12 of the largest industrial and research companies in China. The most active cooperation is in the field of telecommunications and IT technologies, aviation industry, automotive industry and new materials. During the discussion of the interaction of the Gazpromneft-Polytech REC with an industrial partner, Sergey Khlopin demonstrated the successful experience of implementing a scientific project aimed at the practical application of the results of industrial operation. He also emphasized the importance of further developing cooperation and expressed confidence in the formation of reliable partnerships with representatives of the PRC in an alliance with an industrial partner.
