The MSc in Industrial Robotics applies fundamental principles from engineering and computer science to the understanding and development of robotics technologies for sectors as diverse as manufacturing, energy, transport, logistics and healthcare. Robotics is an interdisciplinary and highly dynamic field that ranges from the design of mechanical and electronic components to the development of software used to sense the environment, plan robot motions and control their execution.<br/><br/>Drawing on core concepts of robotics, AI, and mechatronics, you will study the emerging technologies driving the digital transformation of industry operations and develop the skills and expertise to design robotic systems using advanced algorithms.<br/><br/>You will benefit from hands-on learning and access to our dedicated robotics laboratory, including the Pepper robot, the Panda robot arm, soft actuators, mobile robots and swarm robotics which we use to research robotics and AI.<br/><br/>You will learn about the use of real-time data analysis, machine learning in industrial processes, including robot kinematics and dynamics, as well as robot programming and learning. You will also cover mobile and bioinspired robotic technologies, robot localisation and mapping and the design of swarm and soft robotic technologies.<br/><br/>The essential areas of control engineering and mathematical optimisation are also covered so that by the end of taught section of the programme you will have the theoretical and practical tools to design robotic systems for multiple industry sectors such as energy, transport, food, logistics and manufacturing.<br/><br/>The programme concludes with your research-based dissertation project, which will allow you further develop your specialist knowledge and apply the concepts you learn throughout the programme.<br/><br/>We welcome students from a broad range of academic backgrounds, including engineering, computer science or the physical or mathematical sciences, who are looking to advance their specialist knowledge and skills by gaining a higher qualification in this exciting field.
