Robotics (Taught)

Our Masters in Robotics blends practice with theory to equip you with the skills, knowledge and experience you’ll need for a career in robotics.

Some of the benefits of joining us on this master's course include:

• Direct personal access to advanced robotic equipment in our state-of-the-art facilities that include mobile robots, ABB robotic arm, Universal Robots UR10's, various sensors like LiDAR, computer vision and depth cameras for integration into robotic systems.

• A focus on both industrial robotics and autonomous AI systems

• Opportunities to contribute to the wide range of robotics research being carried out in the school

• Preparing for further studies at PhD level.

Why study Robotics at Middlesex?

Significant growth is predicted in many robotics sectors with enhanced interest from several businesses and governments. Our course will teach you the principles of robotics and develop your hands-on skills using state-of-the-art equipment.

You’ll work with state-of-the-art sensors and actuators, and learn how to link and control them to build autonomous robotic systems and apply AI and machine learning techniques. You’ll learn to program different types of robots, from manipulators to mobile robots and social robots, using industry-standard hardware and software, such as Python and ROS.

The course includes practical projects working under the supervision of our expert teaching staff, who are involved in industrial and academic activities in robotics and AI. You’ll benefit from our close links to leading organisations.

On the Robotic masters degree, you'll use a variety of industry-standard and domestic robots, giving you experience using industrial manipulators, multiple-arm collaborative robots, mobile platforms, and social robots. We'll teach you how to program different robotic systems through the appropriate environments (e.g. ROS, Python, MATLAB, TensorFlow) and you will learn the hardware and software skills valued by the robotics industry, which will help you progress into more specialised areas of robotics, depending on your interests. We’ll also teach you how to present your work to an academic or professional audience, through different means (reports, presentations, multimedia).

This course offers a unique opportunity to spend up to a year in industry, gaining practical, hands-on experience in mobile robotics, AI applications in robotics and industrial robotics. Placements complement academic learning by immersing students in real-world projects within cutting-edge sectors.
