Robotics and Intelligent Systems (BSc)

This program covers engineering methods and technologies relevant in making artificial mobile systems, such as robots, independent of permanent human supervision, i.e., that enable mobile systems to autonomous intelligent operations. Application areas focus on robotics and automation, but also includes automotive and transport industries communication technologies, marine technology, and logistics. Furthermore, it involves transdisciplinary aspects related to the study of processes that enable mobility in intelligent natural systems. Hands-on experience with technical systems and methods in state-of-the art labs are part of the program.

Career options include areas such as research and development or management tracks in automotive and transport, robotics and automation, communication technologies, marine technology and logistics industries. Given the increasing need for automation of daily life tasks through intelligent mobile systems, there is a significant number of career options in addition to the core ones that are covered in the program.

The Robotics and Intelligent Systems program matches scientific content with real-world use cases. This is a strength in the Jacobs offer, to introduce students to real world applications. Field trips and participation to robotics competitions significantly contribute to bring students closer to the market and to real challenges, in addition of being an excellent opportunity for professional networking.
