Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Degree at Aberystwyth University


Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Degree - 3 year Degree Scheme (GH76)
Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Degree - 4 year Degree Scheme (GH7P)

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Degree

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are linked by the desire to create artificial systems, and this has increasingly been commercialised by industry. Specific examples of current and emerging applications include home robots (both for fun and as assistants to those with special needs); intelligent industrial robotics, agent-based supply chain management systems, and medical robotics. The scheme offers a sound grounding in the underlying technologies, as well as vocational skills.

The Artificial Intelligence and Robotics degree will give you a firm foundation in computing skills that include:

  • Programming
  • An introduction to operating systems, including Unix
  • Software design
  • Data structures and algorithms
  • Computer architecture

It will emphasise specialised skills in the following areas:

  • Theoretical understanding of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
  • Practical application of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics concepts
  • Tools to develop Artificial Intelligence and Robotics applications
  • Interaction with different but related techniques such as Vision, Intelligent Agents in games programming, and Mobile Computing.

Final year projects:

Some of our students recently completed the following examples for their final year projects:

  • A 4-legged robot
  • Post delivering mobile robot
  • Heart rate monitor.

Career Opportunities 

The Artificial Intelligence and Robotics degree will provide you with the appropriate skills for any typical job in the software industry. Its particular emphasis also gives students a head start when applying for jobs in areas like:

  • Industrial robotics requiring some degree of autonomy or artificial intelligence
  • Medical robotics
  • Programming of softbot applications for commercial problems
  • Intelligent robotic design and programming.
