Location of Umea University
The Master's programme in Robotics and Control provides a comprehensive foundation for a professional career in the field of robotics and control systems. The program is interdisciplinary, covering most important areas with contributions mainly from the Departments of Computing Science and Applied Physics and Electronics. A relevant curriculum is guaranteed by lectures and hands-on assignments relating directly to ongoing research projects. many courses in the program contain a large portion of laboratory work in order to provide experience with relevant software and hardware.
Robotics and control are enabling technologies in most modern technical areas. Robotics has for long been in frequent use in the manufacturing industry and are now being introduced for unmanned vehicles used in transportation and in various hostile environments. One important future area for intelligent robots is believed to be the service sector.
Control theory is the corner stone in most industrial processes, and also in the construction of vehicles. The control area becomes increasingly important as the complexity and performance of cars, planes and other vehicles increase.
There is a clearly growing need for engineers who can design, build, and maintain these complex automated and intelligent systems of today and in the future.
Contents
The Master's Program in Robotics and Control provides teaching by lectures, group exercises, seminars, laboratory work, assignments, and projects. It consists of courses from the Department of Computing Science and Department of Applied Physics and Electronics. Many courses contain a large portion of laboratory work to provide hands-on experience using the state of the art software and hardware. The study focus may be put on artificial intelligence related robotics or control related robotics, depending on the student's interests. It is also possible and encouraged to personalize the program by selecting additional courses according to own interests and including them in the diploma. Typically the students study two courses in parallel for a period that is a half of a semester. Each study period ends with an exam period. Every course has three written examination opportunities each year. The program also includes a one-semester project work of 30 ECTS. It is defended orally and documented in the form of a written Master's Thesis.
