MSc Intelligent Systems and Robotics

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time

Course Description

Our course provides a comprehensive coverage of contemporary intelligent systems, with robots serving as a major example of the technology. Thanks to the leading research being undertaken in our School, you will gain a solid understanding of the foundations of this technology, exploring areas including:

  • The principles by which sensed data are converted into useful information
  • The practical aspects of developing intelligent and robotic systems
  • Biologically-inspired robots
  • Biometrics
  • Computational intelligence

Robotics requires a well-developed knowledge of areas ranging from computer science and artificial intelligence, to engineering and neuroscience, in order to produce hardware which can sense and manipulate the real world. This field has allowed us to develop everything from satellites and submarines, to racecars and robots.

Our MSc Intelligent Systems and Robotics is delivered by our team of internationally recognised researchers, with expertise spanning the entire range of intelligent systems and experience of developing robots intended for land, under water and in the air.

Research carried out by our team has resulted in appearance in the Robot Soccer World Cup final, an autonomous robot fish in the London Aquarium, and a self-programming computer vision system.

More than two-thirds of our research is rated ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ (REF 2014).

This course is available on a full- and part-time basis, starting in October.

Entry Requirements
