The development of industrial robotics, we must create conditions and an interest in innovative technologies, and not the state order, the Minister of communications and mass media Nikolay Nikiforov.
“There must be order. The state should create conditions so that the demand and supply themselves found themselves on the market. Where the government will always be some distortions from the point of view of nationalization of these areas,” said Nikiforov Sunday in the framework of the Days of robotics in Sochi”, answering the journalists ‘ question about the development of civil robotics and participation of the public procurement.
The Minister explained that it is necessary to understand what is necessary for Russian enterprises to more profitable to order robots and use them in daily life, and how robotics can improve their competitiveness.

And if it is interesting, will appear and kommercheskoe R & d sponsors of such events, “bounty hunters” of these guys. We run the whole flywheel. And come just from a state order wrong. Let us systematically to work, not just to spend taxpayers ‘ money to robots to buy,” said Nikiforov.
