Master in Robotics Engineering

For Master in Robotics Engineering, tuition fees are 3,647 USD per year.

Robotics Engineering is a two-year master's degree taught in English at the Università degli Studi di Genova, located in Genova, Italy. The field brings together mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer science to design machines capable of sensing their environment, making decisions, and acting on the physical world. Typical areas of study include kinematics and dynamics of robotic systems, control theory, sensor integration, computer vision, and the algorithms that allow robots to perceive and navigate their surroundings. Students often work on both the hardware side of robotics, such as actuators, mechanical linkages, and sensor design, and the software side, including planning algorithms, machine learning for perception, and real-time control systems. Coursework frequently combines theoretical modules in dynamics and control with hands-on project work, where students build and program robotic systems to complete defined tasks. As automation spreads across industries, from manufacturing to healthcare, logistics, and agriculture, the demand for engineers who understand how to design and program intelligent physical systems has grown accordingly. The discipline also touches on human-robot interaction, since many robotic applications now require machines to operate safely alongside people rather than in isolated industrial settings. Graduates of robotics engineering programs typically move into roles designing and developing robotic systems for manufacturing automation, research institutions, or companies producing autonomous vehicles, drones, and service robots. Others focus on the software side of the field, working as perception or control engineers, while some continue into doctoral research exploring new frontiers in robotic autonomy and artificial intelligence. The English-language instruction of this program supports an international student cohort preparing for careers in a field that spans mechanical, electrical, and computational disciplines.
