Duration and conclusion
As a rule, the course of study takes 4 semesters. After passing the master thesis you will receive the degree Master of Science.
What can you expect during your studies?
In addition to a basic evaluation of mechatronic systems, contents on the mathematical description (dynamics and kinematics), control and application-oriented adaptation of robots are taught. This also includes the observation of stationary and mobile robots as well as the corresponding methods for path and route planning.
In the Master's programme, specialisation in one of the following areas of specialisation is possible: vehicle mechatronics, signal processing and automation, industrial and medical robotics, robotics - mobile systems, systems engineering, medical device technology. The aim of the course is to enable students to analyse and develop technical systems in which sensor, information processing, actuator and mechanical functions are integrated. Such systems are, for example, anti-lock braking systems for vehicles, contact-free magnetic bearings and sensor-guided robots.
Detailed information on the course contents can be found in the module plan and in the module and course catalogues.

Tasks and requirements in mechatronics and robotics
Mechatronics and Robotics deals with the interdisciplinary interaction of mechanics, electrical engineering and information processing for the purpose of developing technical systems in which sensor, information processing, actuator and mechanical functions are integrated. The technical requirements consist of optimally exploiting the potential of the individual engineering disciplines for the design of mechatronic systems and combining them in a goal-oriented manner.
-
The main qualification goals of the master's degree in mechatronics and robotics are ...
- an in-depth understanding of the specifics and functionalities of complex mechatronic systems and an in-depth understanding of engineering issues at the intersections between mechanics, electrical engineering and information technology
- the ability to analytically and scientifically describe the interplay and interactions of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology components in mechatronic systems
- the ability to conceptualise, mathematically model, design, construct, implement and test mechatronic systems and their interactions
- the ability to develop innovative mechatronic systems through an optimal combination of individual disciplinary resources for different fields of application
- the ability to carry out independent scientific work (design and execution of a research plan, use of adequate scientific methods, presentation and critical evaluation of research results)
- to think in technical-systemic terms and to use methods of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology in an integrative way to solve technical problems
