Automation and Robot Technology is one of six study lines in DTU’s two-year, 120 ECTS Master of Electrical Engineering, taught at the Lyngby Campus. It builds on the programme’s focus on systematic problem solving, mathematical methods and laboratory work with IT-based design tools, and applies them to robotics and automated systems, which the parent programme names as a core area. Students work in project teams and can tailor their plan with courses from the wider DTU catalogue. The study-line page itself could not be retrieved, so this description rests on the parent programme information.
