Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering

Relevant degrees

Overview

  • Elevate your mechatronics engineering expertise with a focus on control system design, machine vision, and data processing, preparing you to tackle complex, real-world engineering challenges.
  • Develop practical skills in motors, gearing, and simulation, alongside in-depth study of state space design, filtering techniques, and digital control principles.
  • Explore the realm of robotic engineering, understanding how to integrate components for creating seamless mechatronic systems—from AI robotic platforms to robotic additive manufacturing—while also exploring artificial intelligence engineering and machine learning as integral components of this degree.
  • Master various aspects, from modelling and controlling drones to navigating underwater robots, and even programming the Boston Robotics dog – covering obstacle avoidance, path planning, and robot communication.
  • Uncover the nuances of computer vision and image processing, delving into advanced applications like facial recognition, OpenCV, AR and VR technology, chemical sensors, and penetrative radars.
  • Looking for an online engineering degree with flexibility? The majority of this degree can be completed online, with only select practical elements delivered in person through residential schools.
