At the master programme you choose the academic profile in which you want to specialise – and thereby the area in which you want to work once graduated.
The master programme is a two-year programme on top of a relevant bachelor degree.
The study programme consists of two types of courses and thesis work:
1. Compulsory courses provide you with a common set of competencies in robotic technologies.
2. Elective courses and profile courses define your academic profile and prepare you for your thesis work.
3. Thesis work is where you carry out a thorough study in robot systems engineering based on knowledge acquired in your academic field.
You can choose between the following profiles:
1) Robotics
Among other things you will learn about Kinematics, Robotics and automation, Mathematical modelling of industrial systems, and Computer simulation and animation. See programme structure.
2) Artificial Intelligence
Among other things you will learn about Classical artificial intelligence, Behaviour-based artificial intelligence, Neural networks, Genetic algorithms, Adaptive robots, and Bio-inspired robots. See programme structure.
3) Software System Engineering
Among other things you will learn about Object-oriented software engineering, Software architecture, Agent-oriented programming, and Software development for pervasive and ubiquitous computer systems. See programme structure.
4) Embedded Systems
Among other things you will learn about Programmable electronics, Hardware/software co-design, Hardware-near programming, and Data communication. See programme structure.
5) Computer Vision
Among other things you will learn about Image processing, Object recognition, Real-time tracking of non-rigid objects, 3D Kalman filtering, and Scene interaction using robots. See programme structure.
All five profiles provide you with research-based competencies based on research at an international level. Each profile is linked with a number of courses and projects.
