The aim of this programme is to gather knowledge in the field and utilise the expertise developed to actually fabricate new models utilising diverse disciplines as machine design, control theory, microcontroller, artificial intelligence and mechanical gadgets. |
Building robots involves the development of a wide range of skills, including creative thinking design, mechanics, electronics and programming- all of which are highly valued in industry. |
