Overview

MnRI prioritizes real-world learning — unlike other graduate programs in robotics, the program offered by MnRI features a capstone project to introduce its participants in the deployment of the algorithms and systems into the real-world.

The MnRI faculty— and the University of Minnesota, in general—are connected to key industries and top companies in the state of Minnesota and beyond. We are currently adding on-campus staff from Honeywell and there are vast research options in the state of Minnesota, which has large local presences from 3M, Amazon, Honeywell, Toro, General Mills, Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Land O'Lakes and much more.

The newly renovated Gemini-Huntley Robotics Research Lab inside Shepherd Laboratories offers state-of-the-art lab spaces, spacious conference rooms, general study spaces, and even a two story drone lab.

Coursework

The Robotics program focuses on three key areas of robotics: Cognition, Perception, and Robot Modeling and Control.

Available classes range across several departments, including Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

Unlike other competitive master's programs in robotics, this new program allows students to complete either a master's thesis or a capstone project, in order to receive their degree.
