Industrial Robotics Center Opens at Tomskiy Gosudarstvennyy Universitet
The new facility will focus on automating processes in the chemical industry and microelectronics.
Tomskiy Gosudarstvennyy Universitet (Tomsk State University) has launched Tsentr Razvitiya Promyshlennoy Robototekhniki (Center for Industrial Robotics Development), according to the university’s press service. The center will specialize in automating processes in the chemical industry and microelectronics. University officials say the initiative responds to a critical need to develop safer, unmanned production systems and to create advanced solutions for high-tech sectors.
At the opening ceremony, Tomsk Region Governor Vladimir Mazur said such centers are important for improving human safety and accelerating manufacturing processes.
Growth Points
“Our center is not an isolated laboratory but part of a distributed network integrated into the industrial agenda. The goal is ambitious: not simply to deploy robots at factories, but to create turnkey technological solutions that address specific challenges companies face and strengthen their competitiveness. The focus on the chemical sector and microelectronics is deliberate – these are growth points where automation will deliver the strongest multiplier effect for the economy,” said Ilya Knyazev, director of Tsentr Razvitiya Promyshlennoy Robototekhniki at Tomskiy Gosudarstvennyy Universitet.
The center is equipped with modern hardware that will allow faculty and students to develop programmable robotic systems. The university is positioning itself as a high-tech hub that translates scientific research into practical engineering solutions.
