Overview

The Creative Robotics programme at the University of the Arts London (UAL) is an exciting mix of robotics and creative practice set in the context of a world-renowned creative university. The course combines machine learning, physical computing and robotics with a strong emphasis on creative applications and the ethics and impact of robotics in society.

You will learn to design and build creative robotics including constructing machines that make music and art or performances. You will also develop advanced skills in robotic coding such as in Python and C++, and robotic open development frameworks such as ROS, MoveIt and Unity.

Furthermore, you will learn creative mechanics such as digital fabrication, 3D printing of robotic parts and program open robots use in industry and creative industries such as robotic arms and humanoids.

You will explore how concepts of embodiment from philosophy, neuroscience and cognitive science have influenced the design of a robot’s body and mind in tandem. This will enable you to develop critical thinking and build a deep understanding of design and research methodologies in the field of human-robotic interaction.

What to expect

Advanced robotics skills: develop advanced skills to both translate creative direction into robotic design and deliver creative robotics projects.

Extend your practice: the course is designed to give practitioners form different academic and creative disciplines the change to extend their practice into the robotic domain.

Research informed robotics teaching: the course is informed by CCI’s research themes and research on human-robotic interaction and design research in creative, social, and evolutionary robotics.

Critical engagement with robotics: as a postgraduate student you will develop a critical understanding of robotic development and explore the role of robotics in producing the future.
