The Robotics and Autonomous Systems degree program combines practical training with analytical depth in order to optimally prepare students for the challenges of a rapidly developing technology sector. The course focuses on understanding, developing and commissioning state-of-the-art robotic products. The curriculum combines in-depth specialist knowledge with innovative methodological approaches so that solutions can be developed for complex issues in industry and science. Particular emphasis is placed on ensuring that students not only grasp technologies quickly, but also familiarize themselves with their further development, service and marketing in a targeted manner.
Graduates of this degree program acquire wide-ranging skills that enable them to master even advanced challenges in robotics with confidence. They learn to analyze advanced issues and formulate precise technical answers based on well-founded solution approaches. Complex issues are prepared in such a way that they can be presented comprehensibly and convincingly both in interdisciplinary project teams and to customers. In addition, a practical and marketable solution for robotic and autonomous systems is always derived from theoretical research results.
