Isaac, a new robot at HSE, will automatically process publications by HSE staff and make the results of various competitive campaigns more predictable for each employee.

University staff will be able to see in real time the number of points awarded to them under campaigns designed to assess publication activity or first-level academic bonuses. In the next several days, Isaac will appear in staff members’ personal accounts on the HSE website.

The robot was named after the writer Isaac Asimov, who in the story ‘Round Dance’ formulated ‘three laws of robotics’, according to which a robot cannot harm a person.

Isaac already has his own personal page, which includes instructions on how to work with him.
