What is robotics and automation?
Building a sustainable future for everyone relies on doing more with what we have. Consequently, robotics and automation lie at the heart of every modern system - from smart homes, through lean and agile manufacturing and production, to smart cities and technologies. Emerging developments in AI, software engineering, machine learning, and advanced control systems are also moving industries and technologies in new directions. As a robotics and automation specialist, you’ll seek to solve ever-more complex problems, to address the global challenges of tomorrow. 

On this course, you’ll build on your core skills in the design of electronic systems by:

• Studying the theoretical principles behind robotics and automation and putting these principles into practice in our specialist labs
• Spending time in the lab learning the foundations of electronics, programming, and systems engineering
• Developing knowledge in AI and machine learning to understand and solve more complex and sophisticated systems used in industry
• Building your own robots in two separate engineering design projects
• Refining your skills in designing, building and testing embedded systems
• Using our specialist control labs to model and apply the engineering knowledge required in advanced factory automation
