Stunning Skills: Archimedes Conference Showcases Top Young Russian Tech Minds From Around Country

And it's really great that now there's almost some kind of a wave going through the whole country. All these brand new inventions are made by very young people, who, it seems, aren't spending their days behind a computer screen for nothing. And it's not a game, it's work on very specific projects. For example, the International Conference on Inventions and Innovative Technologies in Moscow, Archimedes, is about what has already been created, especially in Russia's various regions. Dmitry Khrustalev will tell us more. This flight is not in a dream, but in reality. It's enough to put on virtual reality glasses and sit in the spatial geodata operator's chair. Next pick any city, region, or, for example, an industrial park, and move around freely. Volunteers: -And which city is this? -Adler. The goal of the project is to create a digital copy of the Earth's surface accurate to within a yard. Through this, in the future, it will be easier to monitor forestry, assess man-made accidents, make topographic maps, or maintain inventory. Pavel Sukhovarov, Director JSC Russian Space Systems: "Monitoring the environmental situation of distributed infrastructure, for example, in the oil industry where deposits are located over vast areas, you can monitor what's happening and how they are changing, evolving. We can assess fire-danger conditions if we are talking about Siberian forests". And this is a completely Russian invention and, what's more important, has already been implemented in Tatarstan. Malfunctions of the braking system, steering, and chassis is determined here in real conditions. Instead of the usual rollers, these stands are asphalt. This ensures high accuracy. Nikolai Sandakov, KAMAZ: "We make random movements of the car's suspension system, which show how all the bearings are set and any gaps. We will see all of this. And afterward, we move on to the braking system. We check the brakes and the whole system's inspection can be done in 5-7 minutes". The developer says that the system doesn't have any other analogues in the world. So, there's a good chance to interest the foreign participants of "Archimedes." 48,000 square feet of exhibition space, and more than 250 organizations from 27 countries. But the most important is the efficiency. According to statistics, 80% of the developments presented at the show will be put into production in the future. Metallurgy, mechanical engineering, biotechnology, security: most of the inventions presented at the show coincide with market demands. Dmitry Zezyulin, Director of Archimedes show: "It's very important to integrate with foreign participants, borrow something from them, or share experience. Czech Republic, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia are here. These are the countries that are interested in working with us". Taiwan, having acquired Russian experience, will build a plant to make wastewater treatment substances, under a license. At the same time, the Asians gave Moscow technology to combat counterfeit alcohol. Korea also has an interesting invention. A Korean designer: "Our mask has many sensor points, so you can measure dryness of the whole face at once. We could measure face dryness and appropriately select the proper cosmetics". Medicine is a separate topic. Mobile labs for the eradication of epidemics were already actively used in 2014 in Guinea, when Ebola was rampant there. In Moscow models of modernized labs were presented, and next to them an exoskeleton for recovering after a stroke. There's several medical developments from Dagestan. For example, an unusual method of healing wounds after Caesarean section, already introduced in Makhachkala. Until recently, this method was used only in cosmetology. Jaminat Medzhidova, Assistant Professor DSMU: "We inject the nitrogen-oxygen mixture here. The uniqueness lies in the fact that it doesn't affect the body in any way, unlike antibiotics, which act on both micro-organisms and the whole body". A separate part of the exhibition space is innovations and strategies to develop the railroads. In the coming years, RZhD predicts growth of cargo volume, so companies are actively introducing a system for automated management of the sorting process. The central post of the sorting yard is Chelyabinsk-Main. Each shift is only four people. Previously, 13 people were doing the same work. Now the sensors determine the distance and weight, and the automated system controls switching the rails and is responsible for uncoupling the cars and further maneuver. Stanislav Rogov, Rostov Research Institute of Automation Head: "Uncoupling occurs at the peak of the hill, and each car begins to move along its route. The automated system monitors the speed of the cars' movement down the hill, so that no collision over 3mph will take place in the sorting yard". This system is already being used in 20 sorting yard all over Russia. You will be able to see the most unusual inventions and innovative technologies all weekend at the International Archimedes show.
