    Robotics and Artificial Intelligence - MSc/PgD/PgC

    About

    CourseOverview

    On this Master of Science degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), you will develop advanced skills across complex and core topics in service, industrial and social robotics. You will study the latest cutting-edge advancements in the field – such as machine learning techniques, robotics vision & speech, and 3D modelling. You will then apply your knowledge to the design and development of sophisticated autonomous intelligent apps, 3D designs and physical robotics systems. 

    You will also develop strong managerial and leadership skills, and a global appreciation of the economic, legal, social, ethical and environmental context of robotics. In addition, there are opportunities for short-term mobility trips to visit global industry leaders and short industrial or academic internship placements, which can often prove very useful in securing future employment in the UK and globally. An expert-level knowledge of robotics, AI and machine learning is highly desirable in industry, with opportunities for further research and PhD study also available. 

    The MSc in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is closely integrated with the EUREKA Robotics Centre – one of only 11 specialist centres in the UK, and the only Centre in Wales with a unique focus in social and service robotics (profiled by the International Trade Department, UK Government, p. 11). The EUREKA Robotics Centre is also the only University centre in Wales on the KTN Robotics & AI Innovation Network Map for “Specific Capabilities & Technologies”. Students have the opportunity of undertaking an internship at the Centre or partners organisations to gain robotics and AI industrial or research experience. 

    The programme is aiming for Chartered IT Professional Accreditation (CITP) by The Chartered Institute of IT (BCS), for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional in the UK. It is also seeking to meet the further learning requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) registration. The Engineering Council sets the overall requirements for the Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP) in engineering, in line with the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).

    This programme is subject to validation for September 2022 entry and the information provided may be subject to change. All new programmes at the University must undergo validation, the purpose of which is to ensure that the proposed programme is aligned to the University's Mission and its content reflects appropriate levels of academic standards and quality.

    The programme will be delivered through an appropriate combination of studios, workshops and seminars with industrial experts to provide insights into their research or business activity. There will be a thoughtful blend of face-to-face learning and Moodle, Microsoft Teams and various educational technologies. 

    A student-centred approach to learning and teaching is encouraged through the use of a broad range of teaching strategies, such as technical labs and individual and group projects. Due to the nature of the programme, online and campus-based practical workshops are key to developing students’ technical understanding and abilities, underpinned by solid theoretical expertise. Students are expected to further develop their knowledge and understanding through directed self-study and reflective independent learning time - in additional to the timetabled delivery. 

    Students have the opportunity to experience state-of-the-art facilities and specialist equipment in the EUREKA Robotics Centre such as humanoid service robots, an industrial-grade robotic arm, and 3D printers with advanced applied artificial intelligent features. 

    Short Term Mobility and ERASMUS+ opportunities are available for students to apply for field trips to countries such as China, Malaysia and the EU to build a robotics career network and gain knowledge and insights from international global robotics leaders. An industrial panel and partners of the EUREKA Robotics Centre support the industrial standard of curriculum design and in addition, partners are invited to deliver guest lectures and contribute to assessment and feedback. 

    Students are also encouraged to publish their work on blogs, EUREKA Robotics website, robotics apps stores, social media & press, and academic conferences to exchange knowledge and share learning & research outcomes. Critical peer review or expert reviews will be the development process towards generating new robotics design, problem solving, error debugging and failure recovery. 

    Students are supported academically and pastorally by the Programme Team, led by the Programme Director. Each student is also appointed a Personal Tutor from within the School, who provides a point of contact for general academic and pastoral issues. The EDGE (Ethical, Digital, Global and Entrepreneurial) educational environment is embedded into every module, and most senior academic staff are Fellows of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and Chartered IT Professionals (to-be) with real-world industry experience, coupled with the UK’s world-class quality of teaching. These are the profiles of some key teaching staff:

    • Dr Esyin Chew, Reader in Robotics & Educational Technologies, Cardiff School of Technologies 
    • Dr Wai-keung Fung, Senior Lecturer, Cardiff School of Technologies
    • Dr Simon Thorne, Senior Lecturer, Cardiff School of Technologies
