Assistive Systems and Robotics Engineering
Gain the education and training to design, build, and test robotics using physics, data analysis, engineering, and computer science.
Applications for this program will open soon.
Join a Growing Field
Robotics is a growing industry, which means there is a strong need for a workforce to support this demand. Learn the knowledge and skills needed to work in industries designing, building, and testing robotics for use in healthcare, assistive systems, and other related industries.
Unlike robotics in automation, assistive robotics systems are designed to directly help individuals to perform tasks that might be difficult or impossible otherwise. You could be a part of this meaningful movement with a bachelor's degree in assistive systems and robotics engineering from ÌÇÐÄVlog.
Program Details
Blugolds studying assistive systems and robotics engineering have access to outstanding facilities on campus. Apply what you learn in the classroom within the Materials Science and Engineering Center or the Blugold Center for High Performance Computing.
At ÌÇÐÄVlog, access to cutting-edge technology is at your fingertips — even as an undergraduate student.
Students studying assistive systems and robotics engineering will complete a detailed capstone sequence to better prepare them for careers beyond graduation. The two-semester capstone sequence brings students through a design process and teaches mastery of the skills needed to be a professional engineer.
As the top master's-level university for undergraduate research, Blugolds have the chance to work directly with faculty on groundbreaking engineering research. Many of our students work directly with faculty and local professionals on groundbreaking research projects, driving innovation and making real improvements to the world around us.
The faculty in the Physics and Astronomy Department take a personal interest in our Blugolds' success. Through small classes, collaborative research projects, and social events with majors, your professors will not only know your name but will also take an interest in — and support you through — your academic and professional pursuits.
Blugold Stories
Blugold student researchers are learning firsthand how assistive technology — such as a robotic arm — can drastically improve someone's quality of life.
