2025: National Anthropomorphic Platform launched in Russia for the development of humanoid robots
In November 2025, a strategic initiative to create a "National Anthropomorphic Platform" was presented in the Russian Federation. The initiator of the project was Robot Corporation JSC.
According to Vedomosti, the purpose of the platform is to overcome the technological lag behind world leaders and create the basis for the Russian Federation to gain a significant share in the world robotics market.
Analysts predict that this market will exceed $5 trillion by 2050. Humanoid robots, due to their design, are adapted to function in a standard environment, which eliminates the need for expensive modernization, and, as a result, contributes to increasing efficiency and ensuring the safety of the workflow, especially in areas where human activity is fraught with risk.
According to Vedomosti, leading technology companies and research centers will take part in the platform. The consortium includes the Center for Robotics of Sberbank, Yandex Robotics, JSC NPO Android Technology, as well as Skoltech and MIPT. Evgeny Dudorov, Executive Director of Robots Corporation JSC, stressed that the synergy of the state, science and business is a key resource for achieving leadership in this area.
The platform will be developed as an open system with common interfaces, domestic components and software. The initiative is a reaction to the intensive development of such technologies in the United States and China. As Vedomosti reports, initiatives such as Made in China 2025 and Robot + Education are being implemented in China. Within the framework of the latter, there are over two hundred enterprises specializing in the creation of humanoid robots.[1]
