Six research papers associated with Skoltech's Center for Digital Engineering were presented at the 2025 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (IEEE ROBIO 2025). The center's Intelligent Space Robotics Laboratory is in top 3 labs by the number of accepted papers at the conference.

Aleksey Fedoseev, a research engineer from the Intelligent Space Robotics Laboratory (part of the Center for Digital Engineering), presented five works.

The sixth paper was presented by Skoltеch alumnus Grik Tadevosyan.

List of presented works:

AttentionSwarm: Reinforcement Learning with Attention Control Barier Function for Crazyflie Drones in Dynamic Environments. 

Prometheus: Universal, Open-Source Mocap-Based Teleoperation System with Force Feedback for Dataset Collection in Robot Learning.

SwarmVLM: VLM-Guided Impedance Control for Autonomous Navigation of Heterogeneous Robots in Dynamic Warehousing. 

YawSitter: Modeling and Controlling a Tail-Sitter UAV with Enhanced Yaw Control.

FlyHaptics: Flying Multi-contact Haptic Interface. 

UAV-VLPA: A Vision-Language-Path-Action System for Optimal Route Generation on a Large Scales.

"ROBIO is one of the premier venues for presenting research in bio-inspired robotics. This year's theme — AI-Powered Biomimetic Robots — perfectly aligns with the direction of our work," noted Aleksey Fedoseev.
