The Institute of Applied AI and Robotics (IPIIR) is a Russian non-profit research organisation founded in May 2026 in Moscow. It studies how artificial intelligence and robotic systems are built into real processes — in manufacturing, logistics, management and services. Its programme spans six research lines: human–AI interaction; the uptake of AI in small and medium business; architectural patterns of deployment; applied ethics and risk; applied robotics; and machine perception in industry. The Institute is funded by private contributions from individuals and companies, and publishes a financial report every year.

The Institute of Applied AI and Robotics (IPIIR) is a Russian non-profit research organisation founded in May 2026 in Moscow. It was established by individuals — practitioners of applied AI — as an autonomous non-profit organisation, in order to work on the applied layer that sits between academic science and corporate product development. Its research programme centres on how artificial intelligence and robotic systems are built into real processes. The Institute studies how AI tools enter the work of people and organisations; what keeps small and medium businesses from adopting them; which architectural patterns of integration hold up in practice; what risks appear in day-to-day operation; how people's work changes alongside robotic systems; and how machine perception behaves in real production conditions. The Institute works on the principle that results are open: field reports, industry reviews, datasets and methodological notes are published under Creative Commons licences. Funding comes through several channels — grants, industry contracts for open research and earmarked donations — and a financial report is published every year. The Institute is governed under its charter. Two bodies are in place: the Director, Shevket Semedlyaev, and the Public Council, which keeps the Institute connected to industry and the wider public. The academic council is still being formed.
