MSc in Automation and Robotics Poznan University of Technology

M.Sc. in Automatic Control and Robotics, specialization - Smart Aerospace and Autonomous Systems (Faculty of Computing), duration: 3 semesters, 90 ECTS points

The Institute of Automation and Robotics of the Faculty of Computing at Poznan University of Technology (PUT), Poland offers a Master of Science in Automatic Control and Robotics with a specialization Smart Aerospace and Autonomous Systems (SAAS) – Autonomiczne Systemy Latające na kierunku Automatyka i Robotyka.

The last decade has seen a significant increase in research in Smart Aerospace and Autonomous Systems. Now, the field is sufficiently mature to engage in a procedure of education. From an educational point of view in the SAAS program we are interested in developing, modeling, simulating, and testing guidance, navigation, control, and decision systems for autonomous operation of unmanned aerial vehicle systems, unmanned ground vehicle, and autonomous and robot systems. Issues of special interest include the determination of levels of autonomy and integration of control, online decision systems, mission planning, trajectory generation, and tracking and limited communication.

The objective of the Master SAAS is to be an interdisciplinary degree program providing students with a strong foundation in smart and autonomous systems aerospace and terrestrial robotics thorough hands-on experience through projects, assignments, and a Master’s thesis.

One of the main aims of the proposed program study is to merge all institution efforts under one umbrella such as autonomous systems control. The curriculum’s common core represents electrical, aeronautics, mechanical, control, computer science, and engineering. At the end of their curriculum, students will be able to develop and implement reliable, safe economically feasible, and environmentally responsible smart aerospace and autonomous systems, and then to advance the technology to make such autonomous systems possible.
