Mobile Robotics students take a research-oriented approach, learning the fundamentals necessary to build and deploy intelligent robots that can understand their environment, navigate within it, and act intelligently. The degree program focuses on probability-based and learning techniques to enable mobile robots to function reliably in real-world applications.
With the aim of developing robots that can act with intelligence and autonomy, the program teaches skills in several areas: perception, state estimation, modeling, action generation, planning, manipulation, and interaction with the surrounding environment. Engineering and computer science are combined to produce theoretical and practical solutions to some of the burning issues facing today’s society, from sustainable technology and agricultural robotics to service robots and autonomous vehicles.
The degree program combines robotics theory and practice with applications of relevance to society, such as agricultural robotics (PhenoRob Cluster of Excellence) and other fields, including autonomous vehicles.
