The degree programme Master of Science Autonomous Systems with a stronger emphasis on research is almost unique in Germany and deepens the IT and engineering skills and mathematical-scientific knowledge acquired in the Bachelor’s degree programme. This specialised Master’s degree programme focuses on the fundamentals and applications of technical autonomous systems, such as intelligent robots, characterised by different sensor-based perception and actuator-based physical interaction skills. Their capabilities are based on a variety of methods from different disciplines (with computer science as the key area) that are implemented into complex high-performance software systems.
