Automation and Robot Technology - Study line

Automation and Robot Technology are very important for our modern society. Without reliable high-quality automation we cannot maintain the current levels of production and social and economic welfare.

Industrial production is ever more reliant on reliable control and automation systems. Robotics is also increasingly important both at home and in industry.

Elective Courses

This group contains in principle all DTU's advanced level courses. In addition to regular courses, special courses are also accepted in this group of courses, provided that the topic and level of the special course is approved by DTU supervisors. Instead you may also choose to follow more programme specific courses or conduct a MSc thesis of 35 ECTS. Here are some relevant elective courses (but not limited):

02393 Programming in C++ 5 point E7 (Tues 18-22)
02450 Introduction to Machine Learning and Data Mining 5 point Spring F4A (Tues 13-17), Autumn E4A (Tues 13-17)
