I3FY Computer Science & Robotics with Foundation Year BSc (Hons)

Skills and experience gained Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to: Design and implement control algorithms for robots and theorise on the nature of future developments in this field. Design and build robots to perform specific tasks and reflect upon the efficiency and functionality of their performance. Path-plan the navigation of robots in both familiar and non-familiar environments and apply advanced problem solving techniques to these scenarios. Design experiments to establish the full abilities of robots in a working environment L: Produce a report on successful design and implementation of robotic systems. Use object-oriented programming languages to produce robot instructions. After the course Graduates of this course tend to pursue careers within the areas of Software Engineering, Programming, Teaching. The transferrable skills such as problem identification, analysis, modelling, solution developing and evaluation gained in this course will prepare the students for a range of careers. The most common destination will be in industries developing robotic solutions for manufacturing, healthcare, transport, energy, defence, research, etc. including both and SMEs. The theoretical foundations taught in the course will enable the students to continue their studies and register on taught or research based Masters courses in AI, Robotics, Computer Science and engineering. They can also continue onto PhD research degrees which lead to a career in higher education or high-ranking RTD roles in industry.
