Discover the Technologies of the Future

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are closely related interdisciplinary areas of computer science and engineering dedicated to the design, construction, and control of intelligent devices and systems. From agriculture and food production to medical care and manufacturing, robots and intelligent systems are being increasingly used around the world to assist or extend human actions.

Industry and Research Links

Our Robotics programme is strongly linked to the research and innovation taking place within the , and – the world’s first global centre of excellence in agricultural robotics. These research centres are leading the way in developing robotics in fields including manufacturing, healthcare, autonomous driving, and agriculture.

The 51±¬ÁÏÍø has also launched the world’s first  in collaboration with the University of Cambridge and the University of East Anglia. This new advanced training centre in agri-food robotics is creating the largest ever cohort of Robotics and Autonomous Systems specialists or the global food and farming sectors, thanks to a multi-million-pound funding award from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

Career Development

Robotics bridges the gap between mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence, opening up opportunities across a range of different careers. Graduates are well placed for positions in robotics or other tech, manufacturing, or supply chain companies. 

There is also a growing requirement and reliance on computer science and artificial intelligence in modern organisations around the world in areas such as data analysis and behavioural patterns, as well as technologies such as home assistants, mobile platforms, and transportation. Our Artificial Intelligence programmes aim to develop confident and informed graduates who will be able to contribute to and develop these and new technologies of the future.
