The article considers educational robotics as an effective platform for the interdisciplinary study of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using the example of "Smart City" concept projects. The author substantiates the relevance of integrating STEM disciplines with social sciences and humanities to develop students' systemic thinking and complex competencies necessary for solving global problems. The paper analyzes methodological approaches to organizing project activities, the technological base (Arduino, Lego Mindstorms, Raspberry Pi), and the potential of robotic solutions in the fields of urban environment automation, environmental monitoring, and energy efficiency. It is concluded that the implementation of "Smart City" projects contributes not only to technical training but also to the development of environmental awareness, communication skills, and social responsibility of students, as well as increasing their motivation for engineering fields.
