In order to implement the SPbGASU Development Program for 2023–2032, and responding to the demands of the modern labor market, SPbGASU got licensed for educational activities in new fields of study: 15.03.06 Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering (Bachelor's program) and 15.04.06 Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering (Master's program).

The relevance of training in mechatronics and robotics is increasing every year: industrial manipulators and autonomous transport and transport-technological means are increasingly used. The introduction of mechatronic and robotic systems and complexes in construction, the automobile and road complex, and mechanical engineering requires highly qualified specialists in this field - graduates of our university.

2024 will see the first enrollment for the bachelor's degree program 15.03.06 Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering.

The training will allow students to immerse themselves deeply in the world of advanced technologies and innovative working methods. The educational program is strictly structured and balanced, including both theoretical foundations and practical classes to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

Students of the new program will actively master advanced technologies, including neural networks, artificial intelligence, industrial robotics and mobile robotics. This opens up a wide range of career opportunities in the field of mechatronics and robotics, allowing graduates to be in demand in the labor market and capable of solving complex problems in industry.

Key program disciplines:

• information technologies;
• internet of things;
• machine parts and design fundamentals;
• design of mechatronic and robotic systems;
• control of mechatronic and robotic systems;
• fundamentals of the designs of industrial robots and land transport and technological machines;
• technical aesthetics and fundamentals of design of mechatronic and robotic systems;
• additive technologies.

In addition, the training program will include the use of software to automate the life cycle of products, skills in setting tasks and conducting research, reading and using regulatory documentation, calculating and using drives used in mechatronic and robotic systems.
