About this course
MEng, BEng in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering, a robotics engineering degree centered on the integration of electronics, mechanical design, and computing. Core topics include Systems Design, Circuit Design, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students complete practical work using specialized facilities at the EPSRC National Facility for Innovative Robotic Systems. The first year covers core foundations through Circuit Analysis and Design, Computational Foundations of Artificial Intelligence, Mechanics for Mechatronics and Robotics, Foundations in Mechatronics and Robotics, Digital Electronics and Microcontrollers, and Introduction to Engineering Mathematics. The second year introduces Electronic Circuit and Systems Design, Machine Learning, Power Electronics, Embedded Systems Project, and Integrated Design and Manufacture for Mechatronics and Robotics. The third year involves Electric Machines, Artificial Intelligence, Control Systems, Individual Engineering Project, Electric Power Systems, and Professional Studies. The fourth year concludes with Autonomous search-and-rescue robot, Quadrocopter surveillance drone, Multiple antenna transmission and OFDMA for WiMax, Surgical inspection robot, Assistive exoskeletons, Modern Industry Practice, and Team Project.
