Middlesex University London - Robotics MSc

Middlesex University London

Robotics MSc

Robots and autonomous systems are being introduced in virtually every industry. As new markets turn to robotics for the next step in their evolution, the need for qualified robotic engineers has never been greater.

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

Why study MSc Robotics at Middlesex University?

Robotics research and the development of intelligent systems continue to be the key priorities set by both industry and the government. Significant growth is predicted in many robotics sectors. Our program will provide you with both a solid understanding of the fundamental theoretical principles of robotics and practical hands-on skills achieved through working directly with state-of-the-art equipment.

You’ll learn to program different types of robots, from manipulators to mobile robots to social robots, using industry-standard hardware and software, such as Python and ROS. These skills and competencies will prepare you for a career as a robotic engineer or academic researcher in the field.

The program includes significant time developing practical projects and working under the supervision of our expert teaching staff, who are actively involved in industrial and academic activities in robotics and AI. You’ll also benefit from our close links to leading industry organizations, and direct access to new developments related to current research projects in which our staff is involved.

MSc Robotics graduates have a wide range of career options due to their high demand. Robotics plays a significant role in manufacturing, product handling, exploration, office, and home, with products such as unmanned vehicles, automated warehousing, autonomous robot cleaning, and semi-autonomous biomedical applications. These graduates are well-equipped for various industries and SMEs, including advanced manufacturing, oil and gas exploration, nuclear energy, railways, automotive, healthcare, and defense. Enrollment in PhD programs and further academic development and research are also likely outcomes.

Course Details

The MSc Robotics program offers a diverse range of experience using industry standard and domestic robots, including industrial manipulators, multiple-arm collaborative robots, mobile platforms, and social robots. Students will work with advanced sensors and actuators to build autonomous robotic systems, study AI and machine learning techniques, and program robotic systems using appropriate environments like ROS, Python, MATLAB, and TensorFlow. This will enable progression into more specialized areas of robotics.
The program also teaches students how to present their work to an academic or professional audience through various means, such as reports, presentations, and multimedia. Optional modules are typically available at levels 5 and 6, but may not be offered on every course. Students will be asked to choose their preferred module during the previous academic year. If an optional module is not offered, the program will advise students after the selection period or at the earliest time the programme team decides not to run the module and help them choose an alternative module.
