Description
The Master in Robotics and Advanced Construction prepares a new generation of interdisciplinary professionals who are capable of facing our growing need for a more sustainable and optimised construction eco-system, with a focus on the emerging design and market opportunities arising from novel robotic and advanced manufacturing systems.
The Applied Theory course aims to give the MRAC students access to the front runners of this multidisciplinary field, who, through a master class format, share the challenges and learnings of their professional engagements in real case applications. Applied Theory is therefore a platform where the students have direct contact with professionals from diverse areas of expertise, furthering their formation and knowledge towards their own personal development in research, the industry and the professional realm in general.
Learning Objectives
The course is furthermore oriented towards the development of students’ critical thinking capacities by engaging the students in a series of discussions after the master class lectures. These discussions and debates will illuminate key concepts that will help shape a manifesto. Students will also learn to search for state-of-the-art projects that follow this manifesto
The topics of the master classes will be the following:
- Research in robotics
- Robotic Industry
- Business & Start-ups in Robotics
- Material Research
- Ai & Robotics
