Robots are multipurpose devices equipped with sensors, actuators and controllers, and with a high level of dexterity or/and mobility. They can perform one or more of the following actions: execute dexterous tasks, assist and interact with humans, implement autonomous or semi-autonomous behaviors, mimic the behavior of biological systems, and process and manipulate data. Applications for robotics is wide-spread, ranging from manufacturing to medical field to space missions. Students completing the program will be equipped with the basic knowledge and practical skills for initiating careers in the robotics and automation industry, which is rapidly growing, and for graduate studies in robotics.
