Course summary
Robots are increasingly important in our society. They are used in autonomous driving, domestic assistance, health care, industrial manufacturing, search and rescue operations, and hazardous environment exploration and monitoring. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to contribute to this rapidly-changing and innovative industry, or to academic research in the area. The course uniquely combines electrical engineering and computer science, allowing you to gain both theoretical and practical knowledge in areas such as navigation, motion control, sensory perception, autonomous decision making, and machine learning, so that you can develop your own robotic systems. High programming skills are developed on this course, as well as essential knowledge of areas of robotics and artificial intelligence.High programming skills are developed on this course, as well as essential knowledge of areas of robotics and artificial intelligence. Your course therefore covers areas including:- Java and C++ programming- Sensors, motion control algorithms, and high level cognition in robotic systems- Computer vision and digital signal processing- Artificial intelligence and intelligent agents- Computer games modulesBased in our world-class research lab facilities, you will be able to obtain hands on experience, test your inventions, and engage in the state of the art robotic research.Our School is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Today鈥檚 robotics engineers are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental. We are home to many of the world鈥檚 top engineers, and our work is driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence.
Programming at EssexTeaching someone to programme is about opening a door. In your first year at Essex you will study a module that introduces you to programming using C. We assess your ability to think in a programmatic way in the very first week of term and if you require additional support, we offer classes which will boost your skills and confidence with programming.
