About

Maxim Petrakov is a robotics and automation researcher whose work bridges the gap between autonomous underwater systems and the smart factories of Industry 4.0. His most influential contribution, "Enhancing the Functionality of the Groups of Autonomous Underwater Robots" (2018, 15 citations), introduces a novel tripartite configuration for underwater robotic complexes—comprising a remote operator panel, a walking platform, and autonomous agents—to dramatically improve the efficiency of subsea operations. This foundational work has shaped subsequent research in collaborative marine robotics. Petrakov also advances industrial automation, with his 2019 paper on "Control and Interaction Algorithms for Industrial and Service Robots" (5 citations) tackling the critical challenge of precise positioning and sensor coordination in transport workshops designed under the Industry 4.0 paradigm. More recently, his 2021 study "Industry 4.0 - Automation in the Conditions of Reconfiguration of Production Lines" (2 citations) provides a practical case study of smart production implementation at the company "Techfom," demonstrating how digitalization can enhance manufacturing competitiveness. Through these contributions, Petrakov has established himself as a key figure in developing both underwater robotic teamwork and reconfigurable industrial automation systems.
