BSC INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS AND ROBOTICS: We are on the edge of a new lifestyle revolution through the development of robotic structures which will provide support in many aspects of our lives at home, at work and on transportation systems. This course will introduce you to the combination of artificial intelligence and robotic systems that are making that revolution possible. Intelligent Systems and Robotics is the study of computers simulating human intelligence within robotic control structures.
The course will enable you to gain a physical connection to this behaviour, allowing you to build these structures simulating human senses including touch, sight and sound. If you have an interest in computers together with an interest in how things work and are controlled, especially within the field of artificial intelligence, and want to be at the forefront of the next technological revolution, then this course is for you. You will gain an understanding of the basic mechanics, electrical sensors, programming and computers at the heart of any robot. You will learn how to create systems that control the small movements of a robot, and how these are delivered and controlled from a supervisory control command system. You will develop an understanding of the different contexts of robotic operation as autonomous systems operating over the Internet or within a robotic community.
We already have robots which will cut your lawn or vacuum your carpet. The next generation of domestic robots will prepare your meals, wash the cutlery and dishes, and generally tidy up after the children. These will require biomorph constructs controlled by programming that will be able to tell the difference between the dog and the baby. After graduation, you could go on to become a developer and build powerful applications for the automotive, consumer electronics, healthcare, industrial cleaning, military, public safety or retail industries, to name just a few. Given the current opportunities for development in this area you may want to continue your studies on one of our Master'slevel taught courses or research programmes.

*Modules may change at short notice
BSc/BEng 240 points (e.g. C,C,C in A levels or M,M,M from BTEC National Diploma) including 160 points from two GCE A levels, two 6-unit VCE A levels or one VCE Double Award in relevant subjects.
If you are taking GCE A levels it is desirable, although not essential, that you undertake study at GCE A-level standard in related subjects such as Computing, ICT, Mathematics or other science subjects. AS or A Level General Studies points as well as Key Skills (Level 3) may also be included in your points total.
We also require Mathematics and English GCSE at least at C grade.
In addition, if your first language is not English, a test of written and spoken English normally needs to have been passed at grade 6.0 for IELTS (with no subtest below 5.5) or for TOEFL (87 for the Internet-based test).
Sorry there are no similar courses available.
