Autonomous and robotic systems are ever growing around us from industrial robotic arms in production chains, to robot vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, self-driving cars and drones to space robotics or any other mechatronic or autonomous system. There is a strong strategic direction for global industry in Robotics and Automated Systems (RAS) as evidenced by a host of national and international strategy documents and networks. Companies are developing robotic and autonomous solutions and products, but now need graduate engineers with the expertise to define the technology. The aim of this new course is to provide core skills and knowledge in robotics, mechatronics and control disciplines. The course will enable students to understand the fundamental processes and techniques in autonomous systems, blending subject such as, electronics, control, manufacturing principles, and mechanics. It combines theoretical and practical engineering principles, with application to real industrial problems.
