Intelligent Systems and Robotics – (M.Sc.)

The University of Essex is one of the UK's leading academic institutions, ranked ninth nationally for research excellence following the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).

Our MSc Intelligent Systems and Robotics will give you skills that are in high demand from both the academic research community and a wide range of industrial companies working in these areas. We provide a comprehensive coverage of contemporary intelligent systems, with robots serving as a major example of the technology. Thanks to the leading research being undertaken in our School, you will gain a solid understanding of the foundations of this technology, ranging from the principles by which sensed data are converted into useful information to the practical aspects of developing intelligent and robotic systems, but also offer you a range of options which cover state-of-the-art modern techniques. These directly reflect research directions in our School, including biologically-inspired robots, biometrics, or computational intelligence.

MSc Intelligent Systems and Robotics is delivered by a our team of internationally-recognised researchers, with expertise spanning the entire range of intelligent systems and experience of developing robots intended for land, under water and in the air. Research carried out our team has resulted in appearance in the Robot Soccer World Cup final, an autonomous robot fish in the London Aquarium, a self-programming computer vision system, and many others.
