Autonomy and robotics are transformative technologies driving innovation across many sectors, including manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, agriculture, defense, and energy. The Autonomy and Robotics program at 日韩无码 sits at the intersection of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science. The program advances human knowledge and equips undergraduate and graduate students with the skills they need to lead in this dynamic field.
In the context of this program, 鈥渁utonomy鈥 refers to the capability of an engineered system to operate autonomously. Achieving this involves algorithm and software design, which in turn involves concepts from signals and systems, control theory, and artificial intelligence. 鈥淩obotics鈥 in this context refers to the design, construction, and operation of robots and machinery to perform tasks and involves mechanical design, actuator/sensor design, mathematical modeling, and embedded programming.
Undergraduate Certificate in Autonomy and Robotics
Autonomy and robotics are transformative technologies driving innovation across many industries, fostering economic growth and enhancing quality of life.
Our Undergraduate Certificate in Autonomy and Robotics (UCAR) provides students with a strong foundation in autonomous systems, robotics, and/or artificial intelligence. We complement coursework with experiential learning in our teaching labs so that completion of the program certifies to employers the student's readiness to begin their career in engineering positions focused on these rapidly expanding technologies.
