On October 25, 2025, as part of the Erasmus+ KA2 NeedEDU4.0 – Enhancing Mechanical Engineering Education in Moldova for Industry 4.0, the Applied (Industrial) Robotics Laboratory was officially launched. This new teaching and research space is dedicated to training advanced skills in industrial robotics, automation, and the digitization of technological processes.
The laboratory is located in room 6-218, within the Department of Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical, Industrial and Transport Engineering, and represents a concrete result of the investments made through the project in modernizing the university’s educational infrastructure.
The new infrastructure was designed to meet the current requirements of Industry 4.0, providing students, teachers, and trainees with access to modern equipment used in the real industrial environment. The laboratory allows teaching activities to be carried out in classic, hybrid, and distance formats, with an emphasis on practical, applied learning geared towards solving real problems in industry.
State-of-the-art equipment has been installed in the laboratory, including:
