MSc Robotics with Industrial Application

Heriot-Watt University

The MSc Robotics postgraduate master’s degree is linked to the UK’s National Robotarium and will equip you to work in industry and wider society in areas where robots can be used to improve productivity, transform transportation, work in extreme environments, and improve quality of life. Students gain expertise in kinematics, robot control, navigation, planning, machine vision, and human-robot interaction, alongside enabling technologies such as AI, NLP, ML, and IoT. The programme offers extensive training in robot programming with ROS, practical implementation on real robots, and major projects involving autonomous vehicles, underwater robots, humanoid and social robots, advanced manipulators, and novel designs. With flexibility to specialise in chosen domains and mentorship from leading research groups, graduates are prepared for careers in manufacturing, medical robotics, offshore energy, environmental monitoring, defence, and more.
