Basketball player, barista, cleaner: discover the robots that will impress you at Digital Almaty.

Digital Almaty 2025, scheduled for January 31 and February 1, will serve as a showcase for cutting-edge robotics technology. The forum will not only feature demonstrations of innovative solutions but also provide attendees with the chance to witness firsthand how robots are transforming our world into a safer, more efficient, and more convenient place, as shared by Lyazzat Sagyndykova, the PR director of Digital Almaty 2025.

Industrial Robots

Kuka and Kawasaki robots can accelerate the welding process by 3 to 6 times. They ensure exceptional quality of connections by strictly adhering to technology and significantly reduce the risk of injuries by eliminating human involvement in hazardous operations.

Additionally, industrial robots perform cargo handling operations. They are capable of moving heavy loads in warehouses or production lines under conditions that are harmful to human health. Compared to humans, robots can operate in extreme conditions, including high or low temperatures, dustiness, and humidity. An advantage is that machines have no limitations on working hours.

Service and Entertainment Robots

You have probably encountered videos on social media featuring robot waiters delivering orders in restaurants. However, waiters are just a small part of the list of service professions that robots can replace. At the Digital Almaty 2025 exhibition, you will see firsthand how a cybernetic assistant performs the job of a barista. Forum guests will also have the opportunity to participate in accuracy competitions with basketball-playing robots.

Moreover, robots are already widely used for cleaning spaces. They operate with high efficiency, ensuring perfect cleanliness even in large areas. Thanks to their constant speed and lack of fatigue, they are ideal for long shifts.

Collaborative Robots (Cobots)

Cobots are robots designed to interact with humans in a shared work environment. Unlike traditional industrial robots that operate in isolated zones, they are safe for collaborative work without the need for barriers. Cobots can work alongside employees, assisting them in complex or monotonous tasks. For example, assembling parts, packaging, or testing products.

Such robots are already actively used in the automotive industry, for instance, in body assembly, welding, and painting.

3D Printing Equipment

It is no secret that 3D printing is becoming an integral part of modern manufacturing. At the Digital Almaty 2025 exhibition, printed sand casting molds will be demonstrated. This reduces the production time of molds from several days to just a few hours.

Additionally, a robot for 3D printing with metal wire will be showcased in the robotics zone, which creates wear-resistant parts of complex shapes. This equipment allows for the quick manufacturing of broken parts or non-series products.

Robots for Diagnostics and Monitoring

The exhibition will feature unmanned aerial vehicles, drones that can monitor fields for plant issues, fertilizer application, or precise watering. They are also used for firefighting – such robots are already installed in forested areas of Kazakhstan and effectively detect fires in their early stages.

Special attention will be given to robots that operate in hard-to-reach places. For instance, automated assistants that can inspect pipes for leaks and damages.

Robot Dog

To enhance safety in mines, a robot dog has been developed by the Department of Development and Innovation of the Autonomous Cluster Fund "Park of Innovative Technologies" in Almaty. The robot is equipped with a 360-degree camera, a thermal imager, and a gas analyzer. It can function in both autonomous and manual modes. The functionality of the robot dog includes monitoring air quality in mines, collecting data on gas concentrations. Upon detecting dangerous levels of carbon dioxide or low oxygen content, it automatically sends an alarm signal to the dispatch center on the surface, allowing for prompt response and, if necessary, evacuation of workers.

Join us at Digital Almaty 2025 and witness the reality where robots play a key role in various industries has already arrived.
