The technical courses of the specialization Robotics are shown in green in the program overview below.
Technology is becoming more and more interactive, immersive, and pervasive. All these systems rely on AI to make appropriate decisions. The robotics specialization focuses on how robots and other artificially intelligent systems should interact with humans either on the work floor or at home. For example; optimizing social robots (elderly care, health care), home systems (like climate, lighting) adjusting to human needs and the interaction of autonomous vehicles and human driving behaviour.
Apart from the general engineering courses, psychology courses, and research method courses, you will receive a strong set of specialization courses that will give you access to engineering courses from Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. In the free elective space, you will determine your focus. Maybe you like artificial intelligence and programming, or maybe you like to control physical robots, or maybe you like to focus on teamwork and logistics engineering? The choice is yours.
The Psychology & Technology - Robotics specialization gives you a solid foundation for many other disciplines in our university. The specialization courses provide a solid basis in linear algebra, signal processing, basic principles of electronics, and programming. You will also learn how algorithms and technology facilitate interaction with humans, the ability to optimize interaction between humans, robots and other AI systems and how humans process information and deal with technology and robots.
This is the most technical specialization of all the speciliazations of Psychology and Technology.
Examples of Bachelor Final Project:
-
Comparing emotion models for human and robot emotion expressions
- Error Correction in Robots and its Effect on the Human Experience
