Artist drone presented at robotics conference in Abu Dhabi

Students and graduates of the College of Computer Sciences at NUST MISIS, as part of the “Artomatika” team, presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) in the United Arab Emirates. They showcased an artist robot that was used to create the largest street mural in the world, painted by an autonomous drone in Novosibirsk.

Scientists Develop Protective Coatings for Energy and Mechanical Engineering Sectors

Researchers from NUST MISIS, Henan Academy of Sciences, and China University of Mining and Technology are developing coatings that can increase the service life of heat-loaded components in the energy and mechanical engineering industries by several times. The core of these coatings consists of zirconium and molybdenum borides and silicides, which are highly resistant to oxidation. A layer of borosilicate glass applied to the surface creates a self-healing effect, sealing defects and cracks.
