KazNU has opened a competence center for robotics and mechatronics

At the 2019 "Altyn Sapa" Award ceremony, the President of Kazakhstan noted that "Industry 4.0" is one of the most relevant and important areas of modernization of the domestic industry.

Pilot projects on enterprise digitalization are being implemented in this direction. As a result, the transition from the current level of technological development to the level of "smart manufacturing" should be ensured, i.e. production should be fully automated and robotic". In accordance with this instruction, KazNU opened a Competence Center for Robotics and Mechatronics in 2024. Agreements were concluded to purchase robots from the leading German company "KUKA", which were specially delivered to the educational institution last year.

"The center provides training for professional personnel working in the "Industry 5.0" system, providing services for automation and digitalization of production. It also provides startups with a unique platform to explore, demonstrate and test the concepts of robotization of technological operations", - said  Chairman of the Board-Rector of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University Zhanseit Tuimebayev.

To date, agreements have been concluded with such industrial companies as "Astana Motors Manufacturing Kazakhstan" and "Hyundai Trans Kazakhstan". By agreement, employees of manufacturing enterprises will improve their skills and gain experience at the center.
