Study Details:
Emerging technologies such as self-driving cars or reusable spacecraft or Drones are increasingly relying on the design and deployment of autonomous systems. This programme will prepare you to face the challenges of a global market with emphasis on autonomous vehicles and mobile robots operating in ground, air, and space.
You will gain in-depth knowledge of recent advances in the theory and practice of Robotics, Machine Learning, Image Processing, Human-Machine Teaming, Communication, and Control.
You will also develop valuable software and hardware skills via extensive lab work in programming and embedded systems design, through industrial design projects.
In addition to the technical part of the programme, you will be introduced to the legal and regulations framework of Autonomous Systems, and the ethical issues arising from their deployment.

From search-and-rescue robots to satellites which can refuel others, Autonomous Systems and related technologies are expected to expand significantly in the near future and form an important part of the UK and the global economy.
Strong employment opportunities in several branches of Industry are expected, including:
Skills acquired in this MSc, including software and hardware robotic/vehicle platforms, Image Processing and Computer Vision, AI/Machine Learning and Sensor Technologies and the experience in a research/industrially defined project, will be attractive for a wide range of well-established companies and SMEs linked to the Autonomous Systems market and beyond.
