Mechatronics and Physical AI

Plan an online meet-up with a student

Specialise in developing the backbone of a robot—its hardware—enabling it to move and interact with people and its environment.

What differentiates an autonomous robot from a machine? It is the mechanical parts, sensors, circuits, and algorithms that enable it to move around and make decisions. There is an intricate interplay between hardware and AI that allows a robot to sense, process information, and act on its environment. How can you construct a surgical robot that works with the utmost precision? What about developing a drone equipped with sensors to assess water quality or track air pollution? Or think of industrial robots on assembly lines. How can you ensure they are able to perform tasks like welding and packaging with maximum speed and accuracy? This is the impact you can have if you choose the specialisation in Mechatronics & Physical AI.

At its core, a robot is a physical entity interacting with its environment. Regardless of the intelligence embedded within a robot's design, it must adhere to the fundamental principles of physics and mechanics. In the specialisation in Mechatronics & Physical AI, you will examine robots’ physical characteristics and control mechanisms.
