The conference was established as a tribute to the memory of Dmitry Aleksandrovich Zavalishin (1900–1968) — a Russian scientist, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, professor, doctor of technical sciences, honored worker of science and technology of the RSFSR, founder of the school of valve energy converters based on electric machines and valve converters energy.

The first conference was organized by the Institute of Innovative Technologies in Electromechanics and Robotics of the St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation in 2006 and is timed to the 65th anniversary of the Institute. The conference conceptually transformed, mastering new scientific directions, involving scientific and educational organizations of the whole world in its ranks, and relying on the concept of society digitalization.

The purpose of the conference is the exchange of information and progressive results of scientific research work of scientific and pedagogical workers, young scientists, graduate students, applicants and students in the field of: automatic control systems, electromechanics, electric power engineering, electrophysics, mechatronics and robotics, information systems.

The conference is organized together with the XI International Conference “Electric drive, electrical technology and electrical equipment of enterprises” of the Ufa State Petroleum Technological University, XХ International scientific-technical Conference “VIBRATION-2026. Vibration technologies, mechatronics and controlled machines” of the Southwest State University and VIII International Conference MIST: Aerospace-V 2026: Advanced Technologies in Aerospace, Mechanical and Automation Engineering at the Saint-Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation, St. Petersburg.
