The team of young robot specialists from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology won the Russian stage of the 2016 Eurobot competition.

The participants presented highly intelligent autonomous robots which had to perform several tasks in the category "Robots on the beach."

For instance, robots built "sand castles", collected "shells" and carried out other activities on their own.
