Robotics

Professor Serhii Vasylovych Strutynskyi of the Applied Fluid Mechanics and Mechatronics Department at the Educational and Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering (MMI) represents a new generation of researchers who combine fundamental science, practical expertise, and engineering creativity to develop innovative solutions. His professional career has been closely connected with Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, where he progressed from student and PhD candidate to professor and leader of both fundamental and applied research projects.

Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross, held a workshop titled “AI in Robotic Systems for Defense Purposes.”

On September 24, 2025, the Mechanical Design & Robotics Lab, created by Ajax Systems in collaboration with KPI, was opened.

The design of the Department of Dynamics and Strength of Machines and Strength of Materials “Universal mobile multifunctional robotic system of high passability, manoeuvrability and survivability” was demonstrated in the final of the VII Festival of Innovative Projects “Sikorsky Challenge”.

Since 1994, the members of Intersectoral Research Institute of Mechanics "Rhythm" of the "KPI" fulfilled a number of development works to create a remote-controlled robotic systems for the liquidation of the Chernobyl catastrophe consequences, which can work at high levels of radioactivity, humid

The disaster at Chernobyl demonstrated the need to create robotic systems, capable of working in dangerous for life and health situations. The development of such systems since 1996 actively carried out in the Interdisciplinary Research Institute of mechanics problems (IDRI MP) "Rhythm" of FAX.
