New robots for harvesting were introduced at SPIEF 2026

On June 3, new robots and anatomical structures printed on a 3D printer were presented at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2026).

"We are not saying that he is better than a human being. It complements a person and provides significant assistance in harvesting," Evgeny Takhtilov, technical director of the Electromotive company, told Izvestia on the sidelines of the forum.

In addition, indirect heart massage systems and titanium alloy products are among the new products. Marcel Vetrile, Deputy director of the N.N. Pirogov National Medical Research Center for Traumatology and Orthopedics, also said that 3D-printed anatomical structures made of titanium completely repeat the patient's anatomy and are used for complex operations on the spine and skull.
