Excellence in Applied Robotics

Robots have the potential to revolutionise the world's economy and society in coming years. There is a need for graduates with the technical skills, industry awareness and people-centred focus to innovate and bring real benefit to society. 

Our teaching is informed directly by the research and hands-on applications developed by the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics and the National Robotarium.

By sharing access to the latest knowledge and hardware in Robotics, we equip graduates with the knowledge and skills to make an impact in sectors including defence, energy, healthcare, assisted living, transport, space, automotive, and manufacturing.
