The creators refused to disclose its functionality and characteristics, noting that the robot is still being finalized. The source of RBC in "Kalashnikov" noted that the robot has already received a working name - Igorek. The concept is placed at the entrance to the pavilion of the concern at the exhibition. The working name of the robot was confirmed by RBC another interlocutor in the concern. In the press service of "Kalashnikov" the name "Igorek" for the new robot was refuted.
"Now it can be called a kind of demonstration of the direction in which we would like to go," Vladimir Dmitriev, acting general director of the Kalashnikov concern, told RBC. "We understand that there are robotic vehicles on the wheeled track, on caterpillar tracks, we also assume that there will be some demand for anthropomorphic automatic movable systems."
The promising goal of using the anthropomorphic complex is to solve engineering and combat tasks, RBC was told in the press service of Kalashnikov. An improved model of the robot will be demonstrated at the forum "Army" in 2019.
Civic Electric Motorcycle
"Kalashnikov" also showed for the first time the civil electromotor cycle Urban Moto (UM-1) of its own production, its light version - LM-1 and the special-purpose version - SM-1.

"He has a completely different exterior, a completely different weight, and we have fine-tuned the technical component," Dmitriev explained.
On the question of RBC about the cost of an electric-cycle, Dmitriev answered that it has not yet been determined. "But I can not say that it will be the most affordable in the market," he added.
ELECTRICROSOVER
In addition to electromotocycles, the concern also presented an electric-crossover. The machine was presented in two versions: a double UV-1 and a four-seat UV-2 will also be equipped with a brushless DC motor with water cooling and Li-ion, Lifepo4 batteries. The maximum speed of UV-2 (40 km / h) and the power reserve (100 km) is much less than that of a motorcycle, the crossover is designed for four people, including the driver. The equipped weight of the machine is not more than 650 kg. Length, width and height of the car - 3440.1530 and 1730 mm, respectively.
