From February 2 through February 4, the Sber pavilion at the international exhibition and forum Russia will host a weeklong robotics event. Visitors will have the chance to sit in on lectures, take part in hands-on master classes, and interact with robots. The program is designed to create a lively environment where people can explore the practical applications of automation and see how intelligent machines perform in real-world settings.
Each day of the event focuses on a distinct theme. On February 2, the program examines how robots are integrated into modern business workflows, highlighting efficiency gains, decision support, and the evolving roles of human workers in automated environments. Attendees will gain a clearer sense of why machines cannot replicate the uniquely human capabilities that drive creativity, empathy, and strategic judgment, even as automation expands the possibilities for many industries.
The centerpiece of the week is the RosMeetup conference, scheduled for February 3. This conference will be available both online and in person, allowing participants to engage with experts from Sberbank’s robotics center, along with partners from Yandex, Skoltech, and other leading organizations. The discussions will cover current research trends, practical deployment challenges, and visions for the future of robotics in business, education, and public services.
On February 4, the event turns its attention to humanoid robots. Guests will receive a clear explanation of how these machines are designed to function, what they can realistically achieve today, and what myths persist around robotic capabilities. The day aims to demystify humanoid robotics by presenting demonstrations, safety considerations, and the steps involved in integrating such systems into everyday life and professional settings.
Earlier demonstrations at the Sber pavilion included a robot hand that generated a portrait from a photograph, illustrating the intersection of robotics and image processing. This earlier exhibit showcased the potential for robots to translate visual input into creative outputs, underscoring the broader theme of human-machine collaboration that runs through the entire event. The pavilion continues to provide a platform where visitors can observe how robotics technologies evolve and what they mean for future work, learning, and innovation.
