Autonomous Systems and Intelligent Robots - ICT Innovation (EIT Digital Master School)

The Autonomous Systems and Intelligent Robots study programme offers a multidisciplinary blend of computer science, electrical engineering and automation. Throughout the programme, students develop the knowledge and skills needed to design, analyse and implement autonomous systems that combine perception, decision-making, control, communication and interaction with the physical or digital world.In computer science, students gain expertise in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), software systems and robotic vision. In electrical engineering, the focus includes automation, robotics, control systems, embedded systems, and communication technologies. Together, these areas provide a broad foundation for understanding both the intelligence and the engineering behind autonomous systems.Students learn the latest theoretical knowledge and know how to apply their skills in practical real-life problems. Typical application areas for autonomous systems include autonomous robots and machines, industrial automation, intelligent devices and instruments, connected systems, mobility, healthcare technologies, agriculture, home automation, energy management and smart infrastructure. They also play a growing role in scientific research, enabling autonomous exploration, data collection, and experimentation.The ICT Innovation programme has separate application periods and admission procedures from the other Master's programmes offered by Aalto University. Further information on admission is available on the EIT Digital Master School website.
