On April 16, 2026, the President of the NAS of Ukraine, academician of the NAS of Ukraine Anatoliy Zahorodniy, the first vice-president of the NAS of Ukraine, head of the Section of Physical-Technical and Mathematical Sciences of the NAS of Ukraine, academician of the NAS of Ukraine Vyacheslav Bohdanov, academician-secretary of the Department of Informatics of the NAS of Ukraine, academician of the NAS of Ukraine Oleksandr Khimich, academician-secretary of the Department of Earth Sciences of the NAS of Ukraine, academician of the NAS of Ukraine Stella Shekhunova, scientific secretary of the Section of Physical-Technical and Mathematical Sciences of the NAS of Ukraine, Doctor of Technical Sciences Serhiy Bespalov, and scientific secretary of the Department of Informatics of the NAS of Ukraine, Candidate of Historical Sciences Olga Horokhovatska, paid a working visit to the Institute of Applied Control Systems of the NAS of Ukraine.
The guests were welcomed by the chairman of the academic council of the Institute, academician of the NAS of Ukraine Stanislav Dovhyi, director of the Institute, corresponding member of the NAS of Ukraine Oleg Kopiyka, deputy director for scientific work of the Institute, Doctor of Technical Sciences Victor Yehorov, and scientific secretary of the Institute, Doctor of Philosophy Alla Stryzhak.
The Institute is a scientific institution whose main task is innovative activity aimed at the development of advanced Industry 4.0 technologies (robotics, additive technologies, artificial intelligence, and information and communication technologies). These technologies form the basis of cyber-physical systems that fully automate production processes, where the management of all processes is carried out in real time with minimal human intervention in the production process.
The Institute also carries out activities to promote, together with the National Center "Minor Academy of Sciences of Ukraine," a unified methodology of innovative activity and the use of principles of scientific education.
Academician of the NAS of Ukraine Stanislav Dovhyi, during his speech, paid special attention to the main tasks of the Institute, which consist of conducting fundamental and applied scientific research, scientific and innovative activities, and bringing them to the stage of implementation in production.
The director of the Institute, corresponding member of the NAS of Ukraine Oleg Kopiyka, told the guests about the institution's activities, its structure, personnel potential, and main research directions, highlighted key achievements in the scientific field, experimental developments, and publication activities, cooperation of scientists with industrial enterprises, work with young scientists, international activities, including cooperation with the International Telecommunication Union and UNESCO, which are UN structures, as well as current challenges and ways to overcome them, and outlined the further prospects for the development of the Institute.
Important attention was paid to the activities of two innovation hubs: "Information and Communication Systems and Additive Technologies" and "Robotic Complexes," whose activities were presented at events concerning cooperation between NAS of Ukraine institutions and domestic scientific and industrial enterprises, the development of innovative activities, approved by the Presidium of the NAS of Ukraine on 04.06.2025 No. 193. National-scale projects carried out through cooperation within the hubs were presented.
The Academy's leadership familiarized themselves with the scientific results of the Institute's activities. In particular, senior research fellow Bohdan Dovhyi spoke about the development of additive technologies for manufacturing complex products using artificial intelligence.
Corresponding member of the NAS of Ukraine Oleg Kopiyka and senior research fellow Volodymyr Kalinin acquainted the guests with the results of work performed under the State Order.
Deputy director, Doctor of Technical Sciences Victor Yehorov, reported on the development of high-tech robotic systems using artificial intelligence for special-purpose tasks, and Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Mykyta Myrontsov spoke about the use of artificial intelligence elements for various fields of activity.
Senior research fellow Svitlana Babiychuk informed about the possibilities of using remote sensing tools of the Earth, in particular for monitoring the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
To familiarize with the implementation of the scientific achievements of the Institute's scientists, an exhibition of equipment created based on their own scientific developments was demonstrated during the meeting, including: an unmanned aerial complex using artificial intelligence; a stand for recognition and classification of objects and targets based on artificial intelligence; a complex based on Dobot MG400 for training in technical higher education institutions; a robot simulating palletizing based on UR; a bionic hand prosthesis; CR-5 manipulator; 3D printers; 3D scanner; and others.
In addition, an exhibition of book publications by the Institute's scientists was organized.
Summing up the visit, the Academy's leadership noted that the Institute of Applied Control Systems of the NAS of Ukraine carries out important work in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, and additive technologies for the needs of the state. It was specifically emphasized that there are few institutes within the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine capable of implementing scientific developments into real economic sectors at such a high speed. The Academy's leadership also highlighted the significant contribution of the Institute to strengthening the country's defense capability.
