Master of Science in Robotics

Tuition fees for Master of Science in Robotics are 23,145 USD per year.

Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence offers a Master of Science in Robotics, taught in English at its campus in Abu Dhabi. Robotics is an engineering discipline that combines mechanical design, electronics, control theory and computer science to build machines capable of sensing their environment, making decisions and performing physical tasks. Students in a robotics master's program typically study subjects such as kinematics and dynamics, control systems, computer vision, sensor fusion, machine learning, path planning and human-robot interaction, alongside hands-on project work involving the design, programming and testing of robotic systems. Because robotics sits at the intersection of several engineering and computing fields, coursework often draws on linear algebra, probability, signal processing and software engineering, preparing graduates to work with both the hardware and software layers of autonomous systems. Specializations within robotics commonly include mobile and legged robotics, robotic manipulation, aerial and underwater robots, swarm robotics, and the integration of artificial intelligence techniques for perception and decision-making. Graduates of robotics programs pursue careers as robotics engineers, automation specialists, research scientists and systems developers across industries including manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, defense and consumer technology, as well as continuing to doctoral study for those interested in research careers. Given its focus on artificial intelligence, the university situates robotics within a wider ecosystem of machine learning and computer science education. The program is accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation, and instruction in English supports students from across the region and beyond who are drawn to Abu Dhabi's expanding position in applied artificial intelligence and robotics research.
