8.         THE INSTITUTE OF MACHINE MACHINES AND PRODUCTION ENGINEERING was established in 1970 as a result of the merger of two Divisions: the Division of Machine Tools and Machining and the Division of Machine Building Technology. From the beginning of its existence, the Institute has been the leading unit of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Lodz University of Technology in the field of education in the specialties of Machine Tools, Machining and Machine Building Technology.

Currently, the Institute has four Divisions: Division of Machine Tools, Division of Machining Processes and Tools, Division of Robotics and Automation and Division of Machine Technology.

The main topics of research work are:

- testing of removal machining methods,

- modeling, monitoring and control of grinding processes,

- examination of the surface layer after processing,

- design, manufacture and optimization of gear transmissions,

- design, control and testing of robots - including cardiac surgical robots

 and mobile robots,

- testing of hydro and aerostatic bearings,

- testing of hydraulic and pneumatic drives,

- testing of working machines drive systems

- application of artificial intelligence methods,
