From 17 to 18 September joint Symposium with Kanazawa University (Japan) "Fundamental Science and the Latest Technologies for Sustainable Development in the 21st Century" was held on the basis of the Kazan Federal University (KFU). The delegation from Japan was led by Yoshio Otani, vice President of Kanazawa University. Kanazawa University for a long time consistently enters the top 20 best universities in Japan.

Research assistants of the Laboratory of Intelligent Robotic Systems (LIRS) of the Higher Institute of Information Technology and Intelligent Systems (ITIS) Arthur Sagitov and Aufar Zakiev successfully presented the results of the laboratory's work. Paper topics were as following:

“Design and implementation of virtual experiments for Apriltag and Aruco markersin ROS/Gazebo environment.” Authors: Zakiev A., Shabalina K., Sagitov A., Li H.,Martinez-Garcia E. A.,Magid E.

“Detection andplanning open wound suturing in Gazebo environment”. Authors: Sagitov A., Magid E.

During the poster-sessions students of the Master's program "Intelligent Robotics" of the ITIS KFU presented reports in the field of intelligent robotics on the following topics:

“Pick-and-place task performing in Gazebo simulator by humanoid robot AR-601m”. Authors: Khusnutdinov К., Sagitov A., Yakupov A., Magid E.

“Modelling Avrora Unior mobile robot control in ROS/Gazebo environment”. Authors: Shabalina K., Sagiov A., Mirzagitova E., Magid E.

“Creating Crawler And Flipper Controllers For A Mobile Robot Engineer”. Authors: Moskvin I., Lavrenov R., Magid E.

“Robotis OP3 humanoid ZMP based balance and locomotion”. Authors: Vasilev G.,Sagitov A.,Lavrenov R.,Magid E.

“Monocular 3d Reconstruction and Model Matching”. Authors: Denisov E., Sagotiv A., Magid E.

“Autonomous robotic palpation of soft tissue using kuka iiwa robot”. Authors: Khabibrakhmanov B., Sagitov A. ,Magid E.

Tetsuto Takano, a student of the Department of Electronic Information Sciences of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology of Kanazawa University also participated in the symposium. He had an internship at LIRS in late August and early September.

The vice-rector for education of KFU, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Dmitri Tayursky noted that symposium was an important step towards the harmonious relations of joint research with the aim of training highly qualified specialists and developing friendly relations between KFU and Kanazawa University.
