Introduction
While we shouldn’t overindulge in thinking about the catastrophic future scenarios of science fiction, but… the future belongs to robots! They will drive us around, will take care of our houses, mow our lawn, prepare drinks or food for us. This is already happening – according to research, the number of robots currently in the global workforce is 2.25 million and has doubled since 2010.
Upon completion of the bachelor’s study program in Intelligent Robotics Systems at KTU, you will be able to develop, design, install and service robots and their systems for use both in households and industries, such as aerospace or military.
You will learn to program and train robots, analyze electromechanical processes, control complex equipment, to use computer vision or the Internet of Things.
While studying in this study program you will practice in the laboratories equipped with the latest technology at the university and in the training centers of international companies such as Festo, Siemens, Schneider Electric, PhoenixContact, Wonderware, Allen Bradley.
- State-of-the-art research facilities established and supported by business partners such as Schneider Electric, Siemens, ABB, Festo, etc.
- Exclusive access to EduNet laboratory by Phoenix Contact for KTU students.
- Talented students can join an advanced study path of the KTU GIFTed Community.
Top reasons to study at KTU
- The best laboratories in the Baltics (by international accreditation experts, 2015), established and supported by business partners such as Schneider Electric, Siemens, ABB, Festo, etc.
- Being the only Baltic member of the EduNet network, KTU provides an exclusive opportunity to the students to get professional training at EduNet laboratory by Phoenix Contact.
- According to the employers, the KTU graduates are able to apply robotization solutions in the industry due to the analysis of manufacturing processes during the studies.
