Robotics

Overview

You will explore theories of intelligent robotic control and software tools required to implement standard algorithms in mobile robots and robot manipulators.

This Robotics programme from University of Birmingham consists of modules in which you will study robotics to an advanced level. You will also work on at least one mini-project. Here you will work one-to-one with one of our research-active staff to explore an area in great depth – analysing the problem and existing solutions, developing new ideas and building or evaluating prototype systems.

You will develop your skills in analysis, research, technology and also in presenting and explaining your work clearly and effectively. In addition, you will be able to take several optional taught modules from various fields. You will work on a research project in an area of robotics over the summer, again with expert one-to-one supervision.

This, along with the chance to learn from world leaders in their field and to develop research and transferable skills, will effectively prepare you to either work in industry or pursue a research degree in robotics.
