New MSc in Intelligent Robotics

News | Posted on Wednesday 9 December 2015

The Department of Electronics is launching a new taught MSc Course in Intelligent Robotics, starting October 2016.

The MSc in Intelligent Robotics will provide the opportunity to learn about the growing area of mobile and autonomous robotics, and intelligent systems. You will gain experience in an exciting wide range of topics, providing you hands-on experience. You will learn about the development of embedded control systems for robots, intelligent algorithms and their application to robotics, communications and systems programming, all with a focus on the practical implementation, both in hardware and simulation.  The MSc culminates in a large group project focussed on collective robotic systems, ranging from ground-based units to flying robots.  Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work in the robotics laboratory for some of their modules and their final project.

The MSc is intended for students who want to learn about robotic and autonomous systems for employment in related industries, or who are seeking a route into a PhD.

The broad aims of the programme are to provide:

  • A thorough grounding in the use of scientific and engineering techniques as applied to intelligent robotic systems
  • A detailed knowledge of the development and deployment of intelligent robotic systems
  • A detailed knowledge of the latest developments in intelligent robotics and an ability to reflect critically on those developments
  • A detailed understanding of engineering collective robotic systems with emergent behaviours
  • Experience of undertaking a substantial group project, on a subject related to research in autonomous robotic systems
