Robotics and Automation

Be part of the robotics revolution - make robots come 'alive' and develop their ability to think and make decisions that assist human activity. Working hands-on with robotics from the start, you will learn how to program various hardware and software for real-life case studies, such as a discovery robot that will navigate and interact with its environment through a range of sensors, including infra-red, sonar, cameras and GPS. You will gain the problem-solving skills that are crucial to engineering. This course is an integrated masters, studied over four years and combining undergraduate and postgraduate study into one course. **AUTOMATION AND EMBEDDED SYSTEMS LABORATORIES** The laboratories provide equipment to support electrical and electronic engineering and include industry proven technologies such as Siemens Programmable Logic controllers, NI ELVIS and myRIO systems.
