Robotics, Autonomous and Interactive Systems

About this course

Robotics, autonomous and interactive systems is a discipline at the cutting edge of engineering and computer science, concerned with designing machines and software systems that can perceive their environment, make decisions and take action with varying degrees of independence. From industrial robots and autonomous vehicles to smart prosthetics and interactive installations, the applications of this field are transforming healthcare, manufacturing, transport, defence, entertainment and many other sectors. The engineering challenges involved are substantial, requiring expertise in control theory, sensing, actuation, machine learning, human-computer interaction and embedded systems. At Heriot-Watt University this five-year full-time programme provides an integrated MEng degree, combining the undergraduate and postgraduate levels into a single programme that takes you to a more advanced le
