Analyze How Robots Sense, Decide, and Move
How does an autonomous robot recognize its surroundings, determine where it needs to go, and navigate toward its destination? Robotics brings together sensing, computing, and mechanical systems to make that possible.
Robotics engineering combines mechanical, electrical, computer engineering, and robotics to design and analyze robotic systems. Advanced robotics also examines autonomous systems that use sensor information, processing, and control to operate in changing environments. You'll build the expertise to design and develop automated systems across diverse sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, agriculture, logistics, aerospace, and service industries.
Michigan Tech’s on-campus Robotics Engineering Graduate Certificate combines theoretical concepts with project-based work in robotics and autonomous systems. Mix practical learning with real-world applications and theoretical exploration that pushes the boundaries of what robotics can do.
