Robotics and Artificial Intelligence - BSc (Hons)

University of Greater Manchester

Robotics and artificial intelligence are changing how machines perceive, make decisions and interact with the world around them. Our BSc (Hons) Robotics and Artificial Intelligence combines strong computer science foundations with practical study of AI, machine learning, computer vision and robotics. You will develop the programming and problem-solving skills needed to create intelligent robotic and autonomous systems and prepare for careers in this rapidly developing field.Robotics is no longer confined to traditional manufacturing. Intelligent and autonomous systems are increasingly being used in areas such as logistics, healthcare, agriculture, transport and smart environments. At the same time, advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer vision are enabling robots to perceive their surroundings, make decisions and operate with increasing levels of autonomy. The University of Greater Manchester's BSc (Hons) Robotics and Artificial Intelligence provides a strong foundation in computer science alongside specialist study in robotics and artificial intelligence, preparing you for this rapidly developing field. You will begin by developing a strong grounding in programming, mathematics, algorithms, databases and computer systems before progressing to artificial intelligence, computer vision and specialist robotics study. As the course progresses, you will explore how software, sensors, embedded computing, artificial intelligence, perception and control can be brought together to create robotic and autonomous systems. Practical activities will allow you to develop, test and evaluate robotic solutions using programming, robotics software, simulation environments and physical robotic systems. In the final year, you will progress to areas including applied machine learning, robotics systems integration and control, robot perception, localisation and mapping, before completing a substantial individual project in robotics and artificial intelligence.
