Autonomous and Robotic Systems Certificate

Program Description

The objective of the Autonomous and Robotic Systems Certificate is to provide a more focused industry-centric education beyond a bachelor’s degree in Autonomous and Robotic Systems. The advances in autonomous and robotic technologies over past decades have transformed all industry sectors in fundamental ways in terms of how future engineered systems will be designed, manufactured, or serviced. The use of automation and robotic technologies is becoming mainstream, leading to an increasing number of industrial and societal systems adopting autonomous and robotic technologies. As a result, autonomous systems will become an integral part of all engineered systems.
