The idea of ​​creating its own building for the now Central Research Institute of Robotics and Technical Cybernetics (TsNII RTK) arose in Leningrad at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, when a Special Design Bureau (OKB) was created on the basis of the Polytechnic Institute for the needs of the defense industry. The place was not chosen by chance: just near the Polytech (just 2 km), surrounded by Sosnovka Park and Benois Garden (it got its name in the 21st century, and then was part of the Lesnoye state farm, before the revolution there was a summer farm of the architect Julius Benois ). Surrounded by greenery and next to the main building - just what is needed for classified work: the Soviet design bureau created systems for spacecraft (Soyuz, Luna-16, Buran). At the time of construction of the building, Leningrad was actively growing with new residential areas, and a futuristic skyscraper could become a local landmark surrounded by monotonous "panels" of the Kalininsky district.

The building was designed in 1973 in the style of "Soviet modernism" that prevailed in the 1960s and 1980s. Construction lasted for 16 years, which, according to one of the authors of the project, Stanislav Vasilyevich Savin, now an honored architect of the Russian Federation, "actually a very long time for the seventies-eighties"... The building at the corner of Tikhoretsky and Svetlanovsky avenues began under Brezhnev, and finished under Gorbachev. During this time, the OKB became an independent institution.

True, the author himself refers the project to a different style. “The building of this institute was my first work as a member of the team of authors. Our teacher Sergei Borisovich Speransky supervised the whole process. It was interesting to work on this project. ”Then I felt that this style would be a kind of turning point in domestic urban planning and, unlike typical Soviet housing construction, would become a“ life buoy ”, and perhaps a kind of“ breakthrough ”in Leningrad architecture., - said Stanislav Savin in an interview with "Ardis" magazine (№48, 2011).

The complex of buildings in the plan has the shape of a cross, slightly curved in the western part. The dominant feature is the 77-meter tower in the form of a "concrete tulip", located on a hill in the southern part and facing two avenues. There is a huge laboratory for testing space technology (there was a "Buran" manipulator). Together with the antenna, completed in the 1990s, the building is almost 105 meters high.

The 4-storey main building rests on a 1-storey pedestal and looks dynamic thanks to its smooth curve along Tikhoretsky Avenue. Tape glazing is complemented by "breeze-salts", a system of vertical lintels that partially protects the premises from sunlight, which is already not too much in the Northern capital. The part of the building facing east, on Svetlanovsky Prospect, is a 2-storey "ship" hanging over the ground and semi-underground rooms and resting on tall thin columns.

Robotics is a promising industry for at least the next ten years because robots are part of a new industrial revolution. It includes knowledge of mechanics, electronics and programming. Studying at a university provides not only skills and fundamental knowledge, but also the opportunity to work on real projects. Knowledge of mathematics and physics are fundamental skills for specialists who want to create smart machines. At a basic level, robotics relies on functions and equations. Even an ordinary robotic vacuum cleaner uses complex mathematical functions to plot a route around a room.

Where to go to study for robotics?

Robotics is a promising industry for at least the next ten years because robots are part of a new industrial revolution. It includes knowledge of mechanics, electronics and programming. Studying at a university provides not only skills and fundamental knowledge, but also the opportunity to work on real projects.

Knowledge of mathematics and physics are fundamental skills for specialists who want to create smart machines. At a basic level, robotics relies on functions and equations. Even a regular robot vacuum uses sophisticated math functions to plot a route around a room.

The Robot found out where in Russia you can get knowledge in this area. We also talked with students, they told why they entered robotics and whether they are satisfied with their studies at their university. The specialty code 15.03.06 corresponds to the direction "Mechatronics and Robotics", however, robotics can be taught in other areas, for example, "Automation of technological processes and production" (15.03.04). And all areas of training, one way or another related to mechanical engineering, begin with 15.XX.XX. At the same time, artificial intelligence technologies and the basic foundations of robotics can be learned in the areas of the group "Mathematics and Mechanics" (01.XX.XX) or "Computer and Information Sciences" (02.XX.XX).

To find out which disciplines will be studied during four years of study, it is enough to find the curriculum of the program. It's easy to do: enter the name of the program and university in the search engine, add "curriculum" at the end.The curriculum will help you get an idea of ​​what you will do for the next 4 years. It is also useful to read on the pages of interested programs information about the partner companies of the department or faculty. Most often, universities have signed an internship agreement with these companies and have agreements on the employment of students after graduation.

Below we have prepared a table with information on admission to some of the leading universities in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other regions of Russia.

Mikhail, Moscow Power Engineering Institute

I entered the MPEI because my acquaintances graduated from the university, and I often hear positive reviews about him. The university gives good knowledge of mathematics and engineering graphics, it is believed that MPEI is almost the best in this. Students from other universities come to our lectures. Prior to that, he studied at MIIT, he did not live up to expectations at all. Now I am delighted with my institute. Unlike many other universities, we are not loaded in the humanities, and the key subjects are related to mechanics.

We don't really study programming languages: there was an easy affair with C ++ and that's it. And it is difficult to implement your projects, because there is no person who can help with advice, no good equipment, no good access to the available equipment. If we talk about the quality of education, then in the previous semester, our headman, who himself does not understand anything about this, taught pairs in one subject. The lack of involvement and reward for creating projects is really upsetting at the university. Little practice, tons of theory. Without the use of knowledge, this is all forgotten at once.

Alexey, ITMO University

As a child, I enjoyed assembling simple electrical circuits. Lamps from flashlights, LEDs from lighters, motors from players - everything went into action.

At school I got acquainted with programming, which also interested me. Robotics is an area in which, as it seemed to me, both of the aforementioned areas of my interests are realized. So by the end of the ninth grade, I decided to get higher education at ITMO University.

Expectations from the university did not come true. Having only one desire, but not having enough knowledge, there was nothing to do at the university. The naive assumption that I would be taught at the university turned out to be wrong. The university only provides an opportunity to study.

At ITMO, robotics is taught according to several standards at different departments ... At the Department of Control Systems and Informatics (I&I), where I studied, the theory of automatic control is at the forefront. There are several courses in mechanics, mechatronics, materials and their processing.

Programming at the C&I department is considered a skill, so you need to learn languages ​​on your own. The main tool is Matlab and Simulink. In the course of the training, C, Assembler, CFC will be touched upon.

In the learning process, there was an opportunity to work with LEGO Mindstorms and Beckhoff. The design bureau also has KUKA, Roomba, Boe-Bot, TRIK, Intel Galileo, Raspberry Pi, and everyone there is very passionate about ROS. The Design Bureau (KB) is voluntary.

There are no projects as such in the educational program. You can independently join a design bureau or laboratory and conduct a project on their basis. This is done without hindrance, and later you can work in the laboratory for a salary.

The quality of education is difficult to assess. Since it is the opportunity to get an education that is given, and not education as such. A very important role is assigned to independent work. So if you are able to study independently, you can leave the university as a very good specialist. In the absence of such skill and an insufficient level of self-organization, one can, on the contrary, go out as no one.

I expected to be taught everything. They will take the hand and lead me into the world of my dreams. They will present on a platter with a blue border all the knowledge that is absent in my head, chew it as it should, and put it in my mouth. This did not happen. Therefore, I very soon hit hard with reality. I lacked knowledge, mainly in the field of mathematics. I lacked discipline. And I was absolutely incapable of assimilating the material on my own. But I did not admit my unsuitability, so by inertia I ended up getting a bachelor's degree and enrolling in a magistracy. In the magistracy, I was already able to recognize the lack of potential in myself and completed my studies of my own free will.

Vasily, BSTU "VOENMEKH" them. D.F. Ustinova

I entered the university to study radio engineering. Expectations from the university were justified, I studied for only one semester, so apart from general education subjects, so far nothing has been studied much. Now the main emphasis is on mathematics, programming (studied pascal, will be C) and physics.

So far, I am only studying at the university. I work at the Center for Robotics at PFML No. 239. He participated in a bunch of all kinds of competitions, from the last - he prepared together with the team for [email protected] where I work on the hardware part of the project.

Now there are a lot of "unnecessary" items. For me, this is the so-called obligatory point that I have to go through in order to be able to do something further. There is also a benefit, but at this stage it looks a little.

I'm not 100% sure that I will stay in robotics, although I am interested in electronics, and I will definitely do it. Robotics is a combination of many factors, where electronics are important, but without the rest you won't get very far.

Alexey, Tomsk Polytechnic University

From school he was interested in physics and was going to become an engineer, choosing between nuclear physics and robotics. As a result, I chose robotics, proceeding from the fact that the direction has been actively developing recently and there are many interesting tasks.

Expectations from the university were met in part. At our university, more attention is paid to the theory of control and industrial automation, as well as the electric drive. From programming languages, we studied C, Matlab and Python. As a creative project in the first year we worked with the Lego Mindstorms platform, and in the second year we studied the Festo Robotino platform.

In my third year, I became interested in machine learning. Since then, I have been involved in the implementation of road sign recognition algorithms as a research work for students, interned at the Tomsk branch of NTR Lab, where we worked on projects in the field of deep learning, and as my graduate work I participate in the development team of a transport robot with human recognition and follow-up functions. for the selected goals.

The university has young teachers who are interested in the implementation of projects in robotics, so if you wish, you have the opportunity to participate in the implementation of interesting ideas.

Unfortunately, the program at our university is somewhat outdated, so you have to get actual knowledge on your own. On the one hand, this gives a good experience of self-education, but on the other hand, obsolete subjects give an extra load. At the same time, TPU teaches good fundamental knowledge in the field of the theory of automatic control and electric drive.

In my opinion, our university pays little attention to computer science and, in particular, machine learning. When learning programming languages, such important topics as the theory of algorithms and data structures are overlooked. Machine learning, which is a fairly common thing in modern robotics, is unfortunately not taught.

For now, I intend to continue to develop in the field of machine learning, but with a shift to the server side of web development. But it is possible that I will still take part in some project in the field of robotics.

Anatoly, YarSU them. P.G. Demidova

As a child, I have always been attracted to robots. I wanted to learn how to make them myself. But there was no robotics specialty in the city. I decided to enter the university for the specialty of radiophysics and electronics (as it was called). I thought that by learning how to work with electronic components I could make robots.

It so happened that at one of the departments they began to work on a mobile manipulator (a small 3-link manipulator installed on a tracked platform). We have already worked on the platform management. But students were needed to take over its management. I became one of them. And as a result, he defended his diploma on the development of a manipulator control algorithm.

Since I entered the physics department, they taught us theory to a greater extent. There are also applied specialties, for example, radio engineering and infocommunication technologies. General physics, math analysis, differential equations could not be avoided. Otherwise, the remaining material would not have been understood. Studied analog and digital electronics, circuit and signal theory.

At our faculty, programming is perceived as a way to solve problems of modeling various radiophysical processes. And, proceeding from this, we were not taught programming itself, not the art of writing programs, but through programming they explained the essence and mechanisms of processes. And we did it on Turbo Pascal. They demanded from us not beautiful code and a fast-working program, but the correct output of data for any initial conditions. They studied object-oriented programming in Delphi, but also taught the basic essence on it. There were also more specific environments for modeling (Mathcad, Matlab). There was a course on programming microcontrollers in assembler.

I think that such courses are quite enough for this specialty. Most importantly, it was not a specific programming language that was studied, but the principle of how to make the computer perform the necessary actions. And it helped me a lot in the future to study almost independently C for programming AVR microcontrollers and C # for creating a control program with a graphical interface. Of course, the level at which I learned the languages ​​is purely amateur, but enough for solving problems.

At the department where I studied (now it is called Infocommunication Technologies), if a student had an idea, then it was necessarily promoted. Because it is much more pleasant to do what is interesting. So their projects were very much encouraged. Especially if the project was interesting and useful not only for the student.

I was working on the manipulator control algorithm. The task was to solve the inverse problem of kinematics for a specific model that was in the department, and to implement it on a microcontroller (a microcontroller is needed to control the servos that rotate the links of the manipulator). As a result, I got a robot that could be controlled manually through the software installed on a computer or using a keyboard, gamepad, touch screen and leap motion - a device that determines the position of a person's palm above him. Implemented autonomous modes: from banal shifting of objects, like a conveyor robot, to drawing letters and words.

They teach well at the university. Teachers know their subject, are able to tell and explain it to the student. I got everything I wanted from my studies. And my dream came true to make a robot, although it is not yet smart enough.

After graduating from university, I did not start working in robotics, because in Yaroslavl there is no work in this area (except for education), and I did not want to move.

Louise, Moscow State University M.V. Lomonosov (branch in Tashkent)

I entered a branch of Moscow State University at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science to learn how to program. In fact, it turned out that mathematics is mainly taught here. Many subjects ranging from math analysis and linear algebra to equations of mathematical physics. But we are passing through programming and now we are learning C ++, before that we studied C, got an idea of ​​Assembler and web development. The workload in the university is enormous, while the quality of education could be better. I don't have enough time to learn something outside, nevertheless, I will continue to study robotics.
