Overview
The technology industry is changing rapidly. Robotization and digitisation are no longer vistas but an everyday reality. Previous developments in electronics have led to mechatronics. Nowadays, mechatronics is indispensable in mechanical engineering.
At this moment, rapid advances in artificial intelligence lead to the emergence of a new discipline: that of cognitive robotics, in which an artificial ‘brain’ is integrated with the mechanical ‘body’ of a robot. Robotics – if well designed and integrated into society – has the potential to contribute to solutions to the complex challenges in the areas of food supply, transportation, production, energy, and medical care.
What you will learn
Only knowledge of algorithms will not be sufficient: mechanical engineering knowledge is indispensable once movements and forces are involved, and ethics are indispensable to estimate the impact on society. Future society needs Robotics Engineers who understand how algorithms can be applied. These engineers ensure that mechanical systems learn and interact in complex environments; they also can use their knowledge to develop robots for a worthy society.
The Robotics programme of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) offers students a multidisciplinary education, allowing them to develop innovative and intelligent products and systems that meet today’s challenges. The focus of the programme is on the interaction between human and machine. You will acquire and apply broad knowledge on Robotics on the multidisciplinary intersection of mechanical engineering and artificial intelligence. You will learn how to model, design, and control robotic systems, how to analyse, evaluate, and validate robotic systems in complex environments, and how to relate scientific knowledge to robotic systems, by critically considering their interaction with societal aspects.Programme Structure
