Autonomous systems are shaping the next generation of technology, from AI-powered robots and autonomous machines to intelligent devices and instruments, industrial systems and advanced software systems. Enabled by AI and advances in sensing, control, embedded systems, connectivity and software, these systems can perceive their environment, make decisions, learn from data and act with increasing independence. They are transforming how we build, move, measure, explore and interact with the world, creating exciting opportunities for students who want to master the technologies behind autonomy, evaluate their performance, limitations and risks, and turn ideas into responsible, impactful solutions with real business and societal value.
