The Institute’s research and development activity covers selected areas of mechanical engineering, i.e. automation and robotization of manufacturing processes and systems, production engineering, product manufacturing techniques (machining, unconventional machining, ultra-precise machining, micro machining). Since 2010, several dozen research and development projects have been carried out at the Institute, financed by national and international research agencies. The Institute’s research profile is utilitarian oriented, which is confirmed by numerous bilateral projects implemented in cooperation with production companies (including Poltra, Wielton, Bryk, Sikorski Cycles, Tiz-Implements, PKN Orlen, Erko and Lotos Group).
