►New Partnership Between Milrem Robotics and Poland’s Military University of Technology Strengthens Defence Robotics R&D
Milrem Robotics, the world’s leading robotics and autonomous systems developer, and Poland’s Military University of Technology (Wojskowa Akademia Techniczna—WAT) have signed a cooperation agreement to accelerate joint scientific research, innovation, and education in defence robotics.
The agreement was signed on October 29, 2025, by Brigadier General Prof. Przemysław Wachulak, PhD, DSc, Eng., the Commandant-Rector of the Military University of Technology, and Kuldar Väärsi, the Chief Executive Officer of Milrem Robotics.
This partnership fosters research and development synergy: together, Milrem Robotics and WAT will co-design and implement projects under European and international programmes, drive joint scientific publications and conference participation, and combine technological development with academia to accelerate innovation.
“We are delighted to collaborate with WAT to enhance Europe’s defence capabilities. This partnership reflects Milrem Robotics’ dedication to Poland’s vibrant innovation ecosystem. As a global leader in advanced technology, this agreement signifies an exciting milestone in our journey to engage with Poland’s dynamic industrial and technological landscape. Together, we will utilise agility, creativity, and innovative solutions to foster progress, demonstrating that European collaboration is essential to maintaining a competitive edge in the future,” said Kuldar Väärsi, CEO of Milrem Robotics.
“At the Military University of Technology, we understand the importance of rapidly implementing research results and delivering new technologies: military, dual-use and civilian,” said Brigadier General Professor Przemysław Wachulak, Commandant-Rector of WAT. “WAT’s cooperation with Milrem Robotics is another important step toward advancing unmanned ground vehicle technologies for the military, as well as new educational opportunities for the young ranks of soldiers and engineers building our future security,” he added.
“This agreement allows us to bring academia and robotics engineering closer together to create real impact,” said Marcin Sobieraj, Country Manager of Milrem Robotics Poland.
The cooperation further provides for mutual technical and scientific consulting, exchange of knowledge and experience, and coordination of research and development efforts. Educational integration is central: Milrem experts will engage in WAT’s workshops, courses, and events; students will gain from study visits, internships, and apprenticeships.
Milrem Robotics and the Military University of Technology commit to ongoing collaboration in science, education, and defence systems development, pushing advancements in unmanned systems and enhancing European resilience.
