Robots are increasingly entering our life. The Robotics is a branch of science integrating many cutting-edge technologies: electronic circuits, computer science and engineering, mechanical science and mechatronics, cybernetics and biocybernetics, artificial intelligence, sensor technology, vision processing, natural language communication, modern psychology, brain model studies, and others. Modern electronic design more and more leads to the construction of embedded devices, which are complete microprocessor and computer systems integrated with the host devices. Such embedded systems can be found in: automobiles, avionic and naval systems, telecommunication systems, medical life-support systems, automated cash and banking systems, but also in household appliances and consumer electronics devices. And especially, the construction of all advanced robotic systems involves embedded electronics.The graduates of Embedded Robotics are prepared for creative engineering activities in the field of industrial and service robotics, embedded electronics, and also for research and scientific work including third level studies (Ph.D.). The specialized knowledge of the graduates includes control engineering methods, embedded design and analysis, robot motion and task planning methods, robot controllers, drive systems, human-robot interfaces.The instructors of this program have a significant research and publications record in robot control theory, as well as an extensive experience building prototype mobile, intelligent, and social robots.
