The Master of Science in Engineering in Robotics is a two-year, 120 ECTS programme taught in English on the Aalborg campus, with a September start. It is research-based and cross-disciplinary, alternating lectures with group project work on real-life challenges and following AAU’s problem-based learning model. The focus is on combining mechanics, electronics and software in intelligent robotic systems, including autonomous systems, mobile and industrial robots, human-robot interaction and system integration. Topics include AI, machine learning, control engineering, sensor technology, computer vision, embedded systems and simulation, and graduates from other universities take a problem-based learning course in the first semester.
