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, and in your final year you will deepen your understanding of the subject by carrying out a major piece of research.
