I am currently working as an engineer for a bio-equipment manufacturing company. I got a job there recently, so I'm still on probation and trying to prove myself on the good side. During my undergraduate studies, I managed to work as an engineer at an aviation company "Ikar" and as an interface developer at the "Sber". When performing work tasks, I try to understand as much as possible the process of equipment operation, as well as the workflow of the team, in order to have an understanding of the interaction in the team

I strive to gain as much experience as possible in order to be relevant to the team and the entire workflow. Also, I am sure that this experience will help me in the future to organize and promote my own technological projects that will benefit production. In addition to work, I try to attend various conferences to broaden my horizons

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Technological Machines and Equipment from MISIS University. I am currently studying in a similar direction in a master's degree cource in order to gain more applied knowledge in the field of technology. In the course of my education, I studied such subjects as mechanics, higher mathematics, materials science, hydraulics, theory of machine mechanisms, as well as several humanities subjects. In addition to theory, we were also taught how to work with industrial robots, 3D printers and machine tools.

My academic and professional research is centered around robotics, with a focus on developing intelligent systems that bridge the gap between theoretical innovation and real-world applications. I am particularly interested in:

• Industrial robotics: Designing algorithms for navigation, decision-making, and human-robot interaction in dynamic environments.
• Soft robotics: Exploring flexible materials and bio-inspired designs to create adaptable robots for healthcare and industrial tasks.
• AI-driven robotics: Integrating machine learning and computer vision to enhance robotic perception, manipulation, and learning capabilities.
• Human-robot collaboration: Investigating safe and intuitive interfaces for seamless cooperation between robots and humans in shared workspaces.

My goal is to contribute to cutting-edge advancements that make robotics more accessible, efficient, and impactful—whether in manufacturing, assistive technologies, or exploratory systems. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and hands-on experimentation, I aim to push the boundaries of what robots can achieve.

Vasily Yandaraev is a first-year Master's student in Technological Machinery and Equipment, specializing in industrial equipment and automation.
