Earlier this month, Russia\u2019s Ministry of Defense held a second annual contest for young roboticists. The competition, which attracted 300 students from 27 schools below the university level, is part of a broader effort to build a homegrown robotics expertise. To that end, the Ministry paired students with LEGO robotics kits and asked them to design vehicles that could handle a range of terrain, including slopes, trenches and minefields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Young Robotics competition was run by General Directorate for Research and Development and Technological Support of Advanced Technologies (Innovative Research), or GUNID, a military research entity with no direct analog to the United States. Its chief function is exploring new military technologies and applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMOD is running many technical competitions among students of various levels \u2014 from middle school to university level. The key theme here is the preparation of \u2018personnel reserve\u2019 \u2014 the capacity to grow technical expertise over the course of an entire generation,\u201d said Samuel Bendett, a research analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses. \u201cToday\u2019s LEGO robotic sets become tomorrow\u2019s hi-tech factories that design, manufacture and test increasingly complex unmanned and robotic systems for warfare and national security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robots built by the students, LEGO or otherwise, competed in a <a href=\"https:\/\/function.mil.ru\/news_page\/country\/more.htm?id=12204184@egNews\" target=\"_blank\">set of challenges<\/a> familiar to military designers. There was the obstacle course, which included climbing ramps, navigating ravines and hedgehogs, and even firing lines. There was orientation in place, a robot shooting range and even another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/unmanned\/2018\/05\/24\/coming-this-fall-a-russian-robot-biathlon\/\" target=\"_blank\">robot biathlon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The competition is part of a broader pattern of actively building a robotics pipeline for the future Russian military. This has included everything from design competitions for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/unmanned\/2018\/10\/03\/russian-students-compete-to-design-robot-submarines\/\" target=\"_blank\">underwater robots<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/unmanned\/2018\/08\/13\/russia-wants-universities-to-design-robots-for-war\/\" target=\"_blank\">special degree programs<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/unmanned\/2018\/08\/23\/russian-student-competitions-are-rebuilding-a-military-industrial-pipeline\/\" target=\"_blank\">ground vehicle concepts<\/a> promoted by local industry. Altogether, the effort is essential if Russia hopes to reach the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/unmanned\/2018\/09\/17\/russian-roboticist-sees-all-but-lethal-autonomous-weapon-systems-by-2030\/\" target=\"_blank\">levels of autonomy<\/a> in vehicle design imagined for the battlefields of the 2030s and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is a historical parallel to all this \u2014 when future Tsar Peter the Great was growing up in the late 17th century, the young prince was given two \u2018fun regiments\u2019 to play with \u2014 two groups of kids that were named \u2018Semyonovsky\u2019 and \u2018Preobrazhensky\u2019 regiments,\u201d Bendett said. \u201cAt a time of fast-paced military evolution of the 1670s-1690s, young Peter was running around his palace with these regimens practicing the latest military tactics, techniques and procedures of that time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those regiments, having grown up with the future Tsar, later went on to serve as an elite force, pivotal in many battles against the modern armies of Russia\u2019s rivals. Bendett sees these robotic competitions among kids serving the same purpose \u2014 growing a patriotic STEM force for the future Russian military.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experimenting with robotics toys today is one way to develop the military robot designers of tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":62534,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":21,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"10":{"categories":["unmanned"],"primary_category":"unmanned"}}},"categories":[106,29,32,21,111],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3021],"class_list":["post-20852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-brief","category-home","category-newsletters","category-unmanned","category-unmanned-systems"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"ROXNGHD2LFD7DFUYAUCR44TWDI","arc_canonical_url":"\/unmanned\/2018\/11\/27\/students-in-russia-test-toy-tanks-against-trenches\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How Russian robots take after Peter the Great - C4ISRNet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Experimenting with robotics toys today is one way to develop the military robot designers of tomorrow.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How Russian robots take after Peter the Great\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Experimenting with robotics toys today is one way to develop the military robot designers of tomorrow.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/unmanned\/2018\/11\/27\/students-in-russia-test-toy-tanks-against-trenches\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"C4ISRNet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-11-27T01:21:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T18:05:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kelsey D.
