“Future Skills: NEFU” Center told about the created prototype of a space suit

Equipment for working in the cold, or a prototype of a space suit, created by the developers of the international center for the development of prospective competencies “Future Skills: NEFU” of North-Eastern Federal University, well suited to the climatic conditions of Yakutia. It was told by the center director Roman Gogolev.

According to the director, the suit for working in the cold is one of 11 engineering and technological projects of the “Future Skills: NEFU” Center. “The development is undertaken in conjunction with the exoskeleton, which we plan to implement immediately as soon as the high-tech manufacturing cluster of our international center will be implemented. Well-known and our own technologies were used in creating the digital version of the suit. Exoskeleton and further modifications require investment. We made this sample with a zero budget,” said Roman Gogolev.

The functionality of a real case for teaching students and experimental design bureau was implemented in the suit development: from an idea to a prototype, the director noted. “The project has been tested. Fully autonomous, energy efficient. In the future, ergonomics and aesthetics will be worked out, as we also specialize in industrial design. We see all this in the system of the industrial Internet of things and the presence of digital doubles with reference to our exoskeleton,” he said.

NEFU rector Anatoly Nikolaev noted that the opening of a manufacturing cluster at the “Future Skills: NEFU” Center will create new opportunities in the field of engineering and advanced design competencies. “The University International Center is not an educational as much as an engineering project. Our guys are engaged in real digital production, including industrial developments, which may appear in the next five to ten years,” the rector said.
