Robotic Software Engineering

Graduates of our MS in Robotic Software Engineering program will develop advanced skills designing and coding end-to-end software solutions that power autonomous robots.

To see if you're on track, read through the program outcomes and required courses and electives below. Please note: students must follow degree requirements effective at time of matriculation. Do not hesitate to reach out to your student advisor with any questions about completing your degree.

Program outcomes:

• Design and implement programmatic solutions to enable robots to function autonomously.
  
• Develop modern C++ software to build end-to-end robot software systems.
• Understand and use design and architectural patterns that are prevalent in Robotic software systems.
• Effectively use tools in ROS, Gazebo, and analytic dashboards to drive engineering of the robot software system.
• Understand and use the technology stack required to make an autonomous robot. This stack typically consists of sensing, perception (vision and speech), planning, manipulation, execution, and feedback control.
• Acquire the skillset required to transition robotics research to practice, while incorporating elements of good software design.
