Robotics & Artificial Intelligence
About this course
The BEng/MEng in Robotics & Artificial Intelligence is an undergraduate degree focused on the intersection of robotics, electronics, and intelligent software systems. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Entrepreneurship, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Teaching takes place with practical sessions situated in a dedicated robotics laboratory. The first year introduces foundational concepts through compulsory modules such as Analogue Electronics 1, Design and Manufacture 1, Engineering Mathematics 1, and Statics 1. The second year builds competence in hardware and software via modules like Analogue Electronics 2, Digital Electronics 2, Embedded Processors 2, and Introductory Programming 2. The third year advances technical proficiency through Communication Systems 3, Control 3, Real Time Computer Systems 3, and Team Design Project EE3. The fourth year incorporates core study in Control 4, Individual Project 4, Robotics 4, and Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 4. The fifth year concludes the curriculum with advanced study through Advanced Control 5, Design Special Topic 5, Individual Project 5, and Advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 5.
