MSc/MRes Robotics

This MRes/MSc/PgDip/PgCert master course provides students with a broad understanding of the latest developments and issues in all areas of robotics. A deeper theoretical and practical knowledge in interactive and intelligent mobile robots is provided. This course is conceived as a stepping stone towards applied research in either industry or in academia. The course will cover theoretical and practical knowledge of control and design, interfacing between real-world devices, autonomous processing and valuation of acquired information, interaction with the user and intelligent decision making. Students will have access to a Robotics Club and other university courses, e.g. an entrepreneurship course, and will work on an innovative project inspired by the latest developments in technology and society. Robotics is a multi-skill discipline preparing the successful student to deal with future developments in distributed systems of sensors, information sources, actuators and human users. These include industrial automation, mobile service robots, edutainment robotics, intelligent appliances and smart homes. More on the MSc Robotics course and MRes Robotics on the university pages.
