Program Description

The program includes several specializations.

Intelligent Robotics

Designed for English-speaking students, the specialization offers various courses. Students can create their own learning tracks by choosing certain disciplines from the list and become researchers or developers in the field of hardware design or robot programming. All courses are conducted in English.

Mechatronic Systems and Technologies (up to 5 students accepted per year)

The specialization offers a double-degree option with the Lappeenranta University of Technology in Finland. Its key focus lies in the fields of computer design systems, simulation modeling, and control of mechatronic complexes.

Biomechatronics (up to 5 students accepted per year)

The specialization offers a double-degree option with Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia. The program pays special attention to systems for sensing, controlling, transferring, and processing information for biomechatronic systems, including smart prostheses and orthoses, as well as distributed robotic systems and Internet of Things devices.
