Master Automatique, Robotique — Advanced robotics mechatronics and automatic control

Tuition is 292 USD per year.

Offered through the Advanced robotics mechatronics and automatic control track, Master Automatique, Robotique is a two-year master's degree delivered by Université Marie et Louis Pasteur in Besancon, France, taught in French. Automation and robotics form an engineering discipline centered on designing systems that sense, decide, and act with limited human intervention. Students in this field typically study control theory, signal processing, embedded systems, mechanical design, and the programming of sensors and actuators that let machines respond to their environment. Coursework generally combines mathematics-heavy modules on feedback control and system dynamics with hands-on work building and programming robotic platforms. Given the track's mechatronics focus, students can expect to work at the intersection of mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer science, integrating hardware and software into functioning automated systems. Topics commonly include industrial automation, motion planning, artificial intelligence applied to robotics, and the design of control architectures for manufacturing and production lines. The discipline also touches on human-machine interaction and safety standards relevant to deploying robots in industrial or service settings. Graduates from automatique and robotique programs typically find roles as automation engineers, robotics developers, control systems specialists, or research and development engineers in manufacturing, aerospace, and industrial technology sectors. Some pursue further research through doctoral study. The program runs over two years, begins in September, and carries a yearly tuition of 250 EUR, with instruction conducted in French at the Besancon campus of Université Marie et Louis Pasteur.
