Bachelor degree study programmes
Bachelor's study programe Mechatronics and Robotics started in 2013/2014 study year.
The aim of this study programe is to prepare multidimensional specialists, who will be able to work technical, organizational and constructional jobs, to have good knowledge of mechtronic and robotic systems exploitation and maintenence. Theoretical knowledge about mechanics, applied electronics, operating systems of mechanisms and robots, cognition of mechatronics and robotics systems designing methods, ability to recognize and analyse technical problems, to formulate and solve practical tasks of mechatronics and robotics, to design and study mechatronics and robotics systems will allow students to adapt not only in production and manufacturing engineering but also in other industies.
Master degree study programmes
Department of Mechatronics and Robotics has two Master degree study programmes:
The programme Mechatronics is a joint study programme. The duration of this programme is 2 years (4 semesters). The joint programme would be coordinated as follows: the first and second semesters are coordinated by VGTU in Lithuania, the third and fourth ones by TU Braunschweig in Germany.
The programme Mechatronics Systems is two years (4 semesters) study programme in VGTU.
Qualification degree of both master degree programmes - Master of mechatronics.

Robots
- Hexapod twenty-one degrees of freedom autonomous robot (Mindaugas Rimidis). This robot designed for small tooling operations (in this case for boring operations). Robot has two sensors of infrared rays and one optical distance sensor. For this robot creation were used these components: CM-510 controller, AT mega processor and DYNAMIXEL servo-mechanisms.
- Prototype of autonomous robot for warehouse service (Andrius Dzedzickis). It is small autonomous robot, which is controlled by programmable Arduin controller. It performs measurements of the distance to the nearest objects and begins to move to the side, where is most of available space. This robot can simulate the pickup of goods and transport them to another location. For obstacles detection robot are using 5 optical and 2 ultrasonic sensors. This prototype can be used for experiments of control algorithms and research of sensors features and optimal positions.
Electric car "SMART"
Electric car „SMART“- Mechatronics and Robotics and Mechanical Engineering departments students knowledge and minds, those were transferred into the real engineering creation. It is the project, that started from clever and talented students idea to transfer all theoretical knowledge into the real product by modernizing standard vehicle „SMART“. The car will use an alternative fuel. This creation represents possibilities of Mechanics faculty to transfer students’ ideas into the real body.
There was chosen a small town vehicle „SMART“ for the modernization. It was a gift from Jonas Jurjonas for students of Mechatronics and Robotics department in order, that they will be able to adapt theoretical knowledge in practise.
Personnel of Mechanical Engineering department were helping with this modernization process and as a result were made details for an electric car.
Steps of work:
- Car receiving
- Takedown of separate car units
- Designing of new units and details
- Production of required details and constructions
- Assembly
- Installation and coordination of mechatronic system
- Experiment
Modernization of an electric car „SMART“: rear suspension was designed by Valdas Kulikajevas, brakes vacuum pump was designed by Gintaras Panavas, rear brakes combination was designed by Edmundas Reičiūnas, transmission was designed by Zhanyu Cui, device of mechatronic door opening was designed by Vytautas Giedraitis, KERS system was designed byAleksandr Lebedev.

Projects
United Masters Degree Mechatronic Study Programme Preparation and Implementation
VP1-2.2-ŠMM-07-K-02-075
Project term: 2012-11-29 - 2015-09-01
Project value: 2 356 908 Lt
Aim of the project: to ensure the training of most qualified mechatronics specialists by preparing and implementing joint master's degree study program "Mechatronics". The project is based on the need and relevance of qualified mechatronicsspecialists need in Lithuania and other European countries. The studies will be in english language so it will be available for students from the European Union and third countries. The implementation of this project allows as to create high quality study program. New laboratory equipment will ensure the preparation of high cualification specialists for the Lithuanian and other countires markets. New world-class educational and methodical literature would provide a qualified studies by introducing students with newest world-class mechatronics achievements. New software would allow for students to prepare for their practical work. The possibility of lecturers mobility and international studies for students would provide a qualitative level of study. Graduates of this study program will be able to work in high-tech areas.
SEMINARS / EVENTS
„Mechatronics“ Year 2015: Second Educational Seminar Held for the Students
Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) has welcomed the first year students of „Mechatronics“ already a year ago. The programme is held jointly with TU Branusschweig in Germany. Although the programme is relatively young, the students and professors have already a lot to tell. Therefore, on Monday, the 25th of May, they gathered to the second educational seminar about the programme, its challenges, results and spectacular opportunities.
Students who attended the seminar enjoyed the presentations of Vice Dean of the faculty of Mechanics prof. dr. Audrius Čereška (“Joint Study Programmes, Master of Science Studies in VGTU“), the head of Mechanics and Robotics department assoc. dr. Vytautas Bučinskas (“Review, Opportunities and Perspectives of the Joint Study Programme“) as well as the head of Railway transport department assoc. dr. Gediminas Vaičiūnas (“Characteristics of Studying in Braunschweig TU“).
After the presentations of respected professors, the attenders had the opportunity to hear from their fellow students who had already visited the partner university. The students themselves can evaluate the study programme in the most objective way, thus, the topics of discussion covered everything from the infrastructure of the university to entertainment possibilities in Braunschweig.
Those who did not have an opportunity to attend the second educational seminar still have a chance to get to know the programme in more depth. In the middle of June VGTU will hold the ending conference of the first year of „Mechatronics“ where all the details and opportunities of the programme will be signified once again. For this, follow information at www.studymechatronics.eu
“Mechatronics” is a result of VGTU project “Master of Science in Mechatronics programme’s creation and development“ which is executed accordingly to the EU Structural FUNDS assistance to Lithuania in 2007-2013 with strategy “VP1 Human resource management programmes“, priority “VP-1-2 Lifelong Learning“, task “VP1-2.2 Improving lifelong learning services quality“, tool “VP1-2.2-ŠMM-07-K Improvements in studies quality and enlargement of internationality“.
Joint Master's Programme "MECHATRONICS"
On 18-19 of January Austrian Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation (AQ Austria) carried out an international accreditation of Joint study program "Mechatronics". This programme is implemented together with Vilnius Gediminas Technical University and Braunschweig Technical University (BTU), Germany.
Experts of Austrian Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation met with the administration of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, VGTU and BTU coordinators of the study program “Mechatronics”, faculty representatives and students, as well as with the social partners and alumni representatives.
Braunschweig University of Technology is the oldest technical university in Germany. Currently, it is about 17 thousand students, of which nearly two thousand students - from abroad. The university is working closely with other Eastern and Western Europe, China, Japan, Indonesia and South American universities and admit students who come under the Erasmus or Socrates programs.
Studies in a joint study program "Mechatronics", conducted in English, provides the opportunity to learn from the best experts in the field, to work with the newest high-tech equipment, to acquire research skills and the implementation of other significant professional career competencies. After these studies student will get two university diplomas (VGTU and BTU) and certificate of joint study programme.
