Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering

About this course

Mechatronic and robotic engineering is the discipline concerned with the design, development, and control of intelligent machines and automated systems. It draws simultaneously on mechanical engineering, electronics, control systems, and computer programming, integrating these into the design of systems that can sense, process information, and act on the world. Robots are moving beyond the factory floor into surgery, agriculture, logistics, exploration, domestic assistance, and defence, and the engineers who design and maintain them need a genuinely cross-disciplinary skill set. At the University of Sheffield, this four-year full-time programme develops your capabilities across the full range of mechatronics and robotics engineering, from the mechanics of movement and structural design through electronic systems and sensors to programming, control theory, and artificial intelligence.
