Robotics is a constantly developing field, with leaps and bounds being achieved frequently that push the boundaries of hardware, electronics, and automation.
In this subject taster session, join Dr Ian Howard to explore how mobile robots rely on sensors, embedded programming, and control to create an intelligent autonomous system. 
Our students across our electrical and electronic engineering and robotics courses will be taught these vital skills throughout their time at the University of Plymouth.
