Power Engineering: Robotics

The Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering offers a Master of Science program in Robotics, which provides students with comprehensive knowledge and skills necessary for creative work in the design, construction, programming, and analysis of automation and control systems. This two-year program starting in October is aimed at producing graduates who can operate industrial and service robot systems and solve complex, interdisciplinary problems related to control and design.

The curriculum of the Robotics program covers a range of modules, including signal processing, neural networks, mechanical design methods in robotics, robot programming methods, mobile robots, artificial intelligence, optimisation techniques, embedded systems, biomechanics, and advanced mechanical design. These modules equip students with the ability to design and analyse complex robotics systems using advanced design and analytical tools.

Upon graduation, Robotics program graduates possess enough knowledge to conduct research in research, technology, and development centers or pursue doctoral studies. They can also be employed as senior management staff in mechanical, electrotechnical, chemical and related industrial sectors. The program is designed to enable graduates to design and build manipulators and robots for various purposes with the use of modern engineering tools, solve tasks of analysis and synthesis of robot control systems, including drives, and make professional use of achievements in industrial and non-industrial robotics, including medical and rehabilitation robotics, and micro-robotics.

The program prepares graduates to make use of computer hardware in design and automatic control systems, computer and controller programming, and combine them with various measuring instruments and actuating devices. The Robotics program also prepares graduates to work in companies using automation and robotics equipment for various applications, including medical applications, development and consulting centers for the design and analysis of mechanical and mechatronic systems, companies involved in the design and manufacture of biologically inspired structures in a variety of areas, including medicine and labor protection, and scientific research centers dealing with the dynamics of mechanical systems.
