Ingegneria Informatica e Robotica

Computer Engineering and Robotics brings together computing and mechanical design to study how intelligent machines are built, programmed, and controlled. The field spans subjects such as computer architecture, embedded systems, control theory, sensors and actuators, and the algorithms that let robots perceive their environment and act within it. Students typically combine software-focused coursework, including programming and artificial intelligence, with hardware-oriented subjects like electronics and mechanical design, since building a working robotic system requires expertise in both. Laboratory and project work often plays a central role, giving students the chance to design, program, and test robotic systems or embedded devices rather than working with theory alone. As automation spreads across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and everyday consumer products, the demand for engineers who understand both computing and physical systems continues to grow. Graduates of programs in this area typically pursue careers as robotics engineers, automation specialists, embedded systems developers, and research engineers, working in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and technology development. This master's degree in Computer Engineering and Robotics is offered by Università degli Studi di Perugia in Perugia, Italy, and is delivered in English across two years of study. It builds on an undergraduate background in engineering or computer science, extending students' knowledge into more advanced areas of robotics, embedded computing, and intelligent systems design. By combining computing fundamentals with hands-on robotics work, the program prepares graduates to design and develop the automated and robotic systems increasingly found across industrial and consumer applications, equipping them with skills relevant to both established and emerging automation technologies.
