Powerful Russian supercomputer to 'speak' to any robotic system, no matter which manufacturer

The technology, developed by UIMC's Vega Radio Engineering Corporation, enables the unification of "the management of robotic systems with specially-designed interface protocols. Figuratively speaking, a unified point operator is able to'speak' the language of the various robotic systems," a company representative told RIA Novosti. The ability to engage in a'dialog' is not restricted to only one robotic system at a time, as the operator is able to control "a large number of different machines at once no matter what company has manufactured them and what software is being used to operate them." To enable such enviable multitasking, the company has created an 8-teraflop supercomputer which serves as the so-called'brain' of the complex management system. The computer, equipped with a liquid silicon cooling system can match the performance of about "40 [of the] most powerful laptops," according to the company.
