Tomsk Polytechnic University

Mechatronics and Robotics

  • Mechatronics and robotics engineers design robots and robotic systems.

Program Overview

Mechatronics and robotics are the profession of the future. Today, on average, there are more than 80 industrial robots per 10 thousand employees in the world, and in the most ‘robotic’ countries like South Korea there are over 700. And their number is growing every year. Therefore, the industry desperately needs professionals who can create robots enabling to automate production.

With this program, you will learn how to design robotic systems using artificial intelligence and machine learning for industry, science and the military space industry. During your studies, you will practice in modern TPU laboratories established in partnership with leading companies – KUKA and Schneider Electric.
