Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are the most effective engineering areas in human life now. We are preparing for a robotics and AI revolution which will change our life at every level and will bring one step closer to the integration of human and machine. You will comprehensively explore the key concepts in robotics and artificial intelligence and gain knowledge essential for the implementation of robotics.
You will learn theoretical tools to describe kinematics and dynamics for industrial robot systems with several degrees of freedom as well as use cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) algorithms in robots. This will guide you to learn about the software/hardware integration in robot architectures for advanced tasks (e.g. obstacle avoidance learning), industrial applications and the adoption of AI in robotics. You will progress to cover industrial tests as well as statics and dynamics of robots, dynamic modelling, and industrial control strategies. You will be equipped with a solid foundation in robotics and AI, empowered with essential theoretical knowledge and practical skills for designing, modelling, and controlling robotic systems.
