The MSc Robotics at Heriot-Watt will provide the students with training in core elements of modern robotics and autonomous systems. This one year postgraduate masters degree in Robotics will equip students to work in industry in areas where robots can be used to improve productivity, transform transportation, work in extreme environments and improve the quality of life.

As a society, we have entered an age of digitisation – the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0. This puts new demands on future engineers. With training central to the development of smart factories, including automation, industry robots and simulation technology, you will be keenly sought after. This two-year programme is taught on campus in Trollhättan and all your studies have a close link to industry. 

Robotics is one of the most discussed topics in recent years; robots are becoming ubiquitous in industrial environments as well as in everyday life. However, as the adoption of robotic technology progressively rises, the skill shortage in robotic engineers will also widen accordingly. This Robotics MSc course will offer students the opportunity to gain practical robot programming experience.

Study a Master of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence to design and develop robotics and automation systems that bring modern industry into the future. The robotics and AI revolution is disrupting nearly every sector of the economy. Now more than ever, industries are looking to hire graduates with advanced skills in robotics and AI technology to remain competitive in the Australian and international markets.

The MSc Robotics and Autonomous Systems is designed to equip students with the advanced knowledge and skills needed to develop the innovative solutions required by the emerging global industry in Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS), and across many other sectors where RAS skills are applicable.

This MSc will provide you with the ability to understand, design and implement modern robotic systems. Robotics is increasingly prominent in a variety of sectors, for example, manufacturing, health and remote exploration of hostile environments such as space and the deep sea, and as autonomous and semi-autonomous systems that interact with people physically and socially.

This MSc will aim to prepare you to take a leading role in the research and development of future generations of robotics and artificial intelligence systems. Possible employment possibilities of graduates from this programme include working in businesses and projects focusing on security and surveillance (e.g. realised with mobile drones), manufacturing (robotic manipulators), logistics (automated goods delivery), inventory management (automated warehouses), and so on.

Would you like to explore the most recent advancements in engineering and technology while constructing your own automated intelligent machine in the laboratory? Explore the boundaries of technological innovation and sustainability with a Master's in Mechatronics and Automation. Here, you get to work on real-world challenges and build your own mechatronic systems in our laboratories. These are often fully functional scale models of large cyber-physical systems, of which you will also develop a digital twin.

The MSc Aerial Robotics will provide you with the knowledge required to become an innovator in aerial robotic systems and tackle the latest challenges for Uncrewed Air Vehicles (UAVs) or drones, from urban utility operations through to remote scientific investigation. Foundational skills such as flight dynamics, control and avionics will be complemented with disruptive technologies such as autonomous navigation and bio-inspiration.

The MSc in Robotics and Embedded AI at Maynooth University equips graduates from computing, engineering, and related disciplines with specialized expertise in designing and controlling intelligent machines. This multidisciplinary program blends computing, electronics, and mechanical engineering.

The main objective of this specialism in Control and Robotics is to master the modeling and control of complex robots evolving in dynamic environments by using proprioceptive and exteroceptive perception. The focus is on advanced robotics, but more generally the specialism deals with modern techniques in systems engineering for the modeling simulation, optimization, analysis, and control of a variety of robotics systems.

The robotics and industrial automation sector is booming, driven by the demand for efficiency and precision in production processes. In an increasingly digital and automated world, acquiring skills in these areas positions you as a highly sought-after professional prepared to face the challenges of the industrial future.

Become an Industry 4.0 expert! In the Master's in Robotics program, you learn how to foster innovation and new technologies. You not only get to expand your technical and management knowledge but also your soft and leadership skills.
