Initiative of the day: the Russian government will hold the World Cup in the battle of robots

The government has approved the initiative of the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation to hold an annual International Robot Wrestling Tournament starting in 2023. The official decree on this is published on the government's website.

The Ministry of Finance coordinates the preparation and holding of the tournament, will form an organizing committee in cooperation with other federal authorities and organizations. The technical expertise of the tournament will be conducted by Promobot LLC, and the operator of the tournament will be Double U Expo LLC.

Recall that the Perm company Promobot had previously developed an android Dunyasha, who "worked" as a barmaid at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The creators of "Dunyasha" said that in an hour the robot is able to produce 36 servings of coffee, give out 50 servings of ice cream and pour 100 servings of drinks.
