Robotic systems have wide application in modern technology and manufacturing.
Robots can vary in complexity and use from microrobots for surgical procedures, to moderately-sized robots common in manufacturing and undersea exploration, to macrorobots used for disposal of nuclear wastes and as arms on space station modules. Robotics is one of the fastest developing disciplines in the field of systems and control, and its role in advanced engineering applications is primary. The use of robotic manipulators has become pre-eminent in manufacturing as well as in undersea and space exploration, nuclear waste disposal and surgical procedures. A fundamental understanding of robotics is a must for the modern engineer. If you are interested in dynamics, control, computer vision or mathematics and you want to work with real-world applications, you may want to minor in Robotics.
