Robotics

Impatient to program robots?

Robotics
Undergraduate Masters Research
Autonomous driving, domestic assistance, health care, industrial manufacturing, search and rescue operations all require modern robotics. Robots are the future.

We will equip you with the knowledge and skills to contribute to this rapidly-changing and innovative industry, or to academic research in the area of robotics. Our courses uniquely combines electronic engineering and computer science, allowing you to gain both theoretical and practical knowledge in areas such as navigation, motion control, sensory perception, autonomous decision making, and machine learning.

Why study here?
  • Develop your own robotics systems, using our world-class robot arena to test your inventions.
  • We are home to many of the world's top engineers.
  • We are Top 250 for Computer Science in THE World University Rankings by Subject 2021.
