Robotics and Intelligent Systems, Programme Curriculum

The first year of the programme consists of courses on a number of advanced techniques for intelligent systems, such as machine learning, robot sensing and control, and automatic decision-making, planning and scheduling. Students aiming for a one-year Master's programme conclude the year with a 15-ECTS MSc thesis project.

The courses are divided into four periods of 10 weeks each, and in each period two courses are given in parallel.

The optional second year has a higher focus on project work. The third semester is to a large part dedicated to Integrated Project Work, where you will work together with your course mates, deepening your understanding of the topics studied earlier by implementing a group project. The semester also contains a unique course on Mobile Robot Olfaction, which covers sensing and modelling of concepts as dynamic as turbulent gas flows. Finally, in the fourth semester you will complete a 30-ECTS MSc thesis, typically embedded in one of our ongoing international research projects or in cooperation with industrial partners.
