Robotics and Intelligent Systems

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.

The Robotics and Intelligent Systems program at Jacobs University Bremen offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary education designed to prepare students for the rapidly evolving field of robotics, automation, and intelligent systems. The program combines principles from computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and artificial intelligence to equip students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop innovative robotic solutions. Throughout the course of study, students engage with core topics such as robotics design, sensor integration, control systems, machine learning, computer vision, and autonomous systems. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning through laboratory work, project-based assignments, and collaborations with industry partners, allowing students to apply their knowledge to real-world challenges.

Students in this program will explore both hardware and software aspects of robotics, gaining proficiency in programming languages, robotics middleware, and embedded systems. The program encourages critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities, enabling graduates to design, build, and operate intelligent robotic systems across various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and service sectors. In addition to technical expertise, the program fosters interdisciplinary teamwork, communication skills, and ethical awareness related to technological development.

The program aims to prepare graduates for careers in research, development, engineering, and management roles within the robotics industry and academia. Students also have opportunities for internships, participation in research projects, and networking events, which enhance their professional experience and career prospects. By the end of the program, students will possess a solid foundation in designing autonomous and intelligent systems capable of addressing complex challenges in a technologically advanced society.
