Students conceive, develop, evaluate, and implement physical computing systems that engage with both natural and social environments. They explore robotics and its societal impact, integrating knowledge from diverse engineering disciplines such as computer science, mechanical design, AI, visual computing, electronics, automation systems, human-machine interfaces, and medical engineering. Learners synthesize insights from these areas to construct robotic devices and associated technologies. Michigan Robotics provides both Master's and doctoral programs, sharing foundational coursework, with PhD candidates additionally producing original research published in top robotics publications.
An engineering background is recommended but not required for the Robotics Program, although we have found that the lack of an engineering background puts students at a disadvantage as they begin their graduate studies.
