Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Msc

The Robotics and Artificial Intelligence MSc is closely aligned with the Centre for Advanced Robotics at Queen Mary, which focuses on human‑machine interaction, design and mechatronics, drones, AI and cognition. Students acquire expertise in robot design, kinematics, dynamics, control, electronics, programming, signal processing, machine learning and manufacturing technology. The curriculum comprises four compulsory modules, two elective modules and an extended research project that addresses a significant challenge under academic supervision. Project work draws on collaborations with industrial partners such as Shadow Robot, Ocado, Google and Kuka, and may lead to commercial exploitation supported by Queen Mary Innovation. Accreditation by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers partially satisfies the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer status. Assessment combines formal examinations with coursework, and students benefit from access to a robotics laboratory equipped with robotic arms, mobile platforms, VR and haptic interfaces, 3D printing and CNC milling facilities.
