Why choose this course?
On this MSc course you will learn how to design, build, and program robots with advanced electronics components, such as sensors, microcontrollers, and actuators. You will learn how to use electronic devices and components to sense the environment, control the motion of the robot, and integrate the various subsystems of the robot.
The course covers a wide range of topics, including sensor design, control systems and embedded systems among others. You will learn to program microcontrollers, design circuits, and use simulation tools to model and test their designed robots. You will also gain practical experience in building and testing robotic systems, allowing them to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Teaching and assessment
When not attending timetabled sessions you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. This typically will involve reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, undertaking preparing coursework assignments and presentations, and preparing for exams. Your independent learning is supported by a range of excellent facilities including online resources, the library and CANVAS, the online virtual learning platform.
