Explore the world of artificial intelligence and create interactive robots that respond to the challenges of modern life – from the rapid growth of the Internet of Things, to providing entertainment, companionship, and helping people to live more sustainably. After establishing a firm foundation in developing software and hardware, you'll apply your skills to both individual projects and major collaborations. We'll provide you with exciting opportunities to bring your ideas to life by designing engaging human-robot interactions and working prototypes. You will: Apply your skills to inspiring projects spanning creative and technical domains, on briefs set by industry partners Build robots that interact with people and environments in novel and interesting ways Develop an understanding of the environmental, societal and cultural context for robotics and the implications for the design, engineering, deployment and adoption of robotic technologies Implement robotic systems that leverage state-of-the-art artificial intelligence Obtain a mastery of programming and physical fabrication by working on practical problems in a bespoke social robotics lab Choose between a three-year degree or a four-year degree with a year of professional practice. While you must select one for your UCAS application, you’ll have the chance to change your decision up to the end of your second year. This course option is a 4-year sandwich course

From gaining specialist knowledge of artificial intelligence and human-robot interactions to building robots using modern design and fabrication tools, you'll learn to thrive in this ever-evolving sector. You'll then finish your degree by collaborating with multi-skilled peers on a major practical project. Year one: During the first year of your Creative Robotics degree, you'll be introduced to the foundational discipline of computing, the practicalities of programming and computer technology, and the pipelines and processes used to create interactive experiences. You'll also learn about the various branches of media computation and physical computing and how software interacts with hardware. You'll then embark on a multi-disciplinary development project alongside artists, animators, composers, designers, and writers. This project will give you a practical understanding of engineering processes, as well as the opportunity to integrate social robotics into a game. Modules Development Principles Creative Computing Principles of Computing Individual Creative Computing Project Multidisciplinary Development Practice Year two: While you continue to explore the breadth of specialisms in creative computing to gain transferable skills, this year focuses much more deeply on robotics. Putting your skills into practice, you'll work with other roboticists in our lab to build robots. In doing so, you will bolster your core specialist computing skills in the area of creative robotics. Modules Specialisms in Creative Computing Mathematics for 3D Worlds & Simulations Robotics & Cybernetics Creative Robot Design Artificial Intelligence Year three: During this year, you'll take on a programme of supervised work experience under the direction of either an employer or a business start-up incubation scheme. You'll engage in a minimum of 30 weeks (1050 hours) of professional practice and be supported by online study material. While it will be your responsibility to seek, apply to and secure a suitable position, professional services staff will be on hand to help. Throughout the year, you'll also be mentored by academic staff, who'll help support your personal development. Year four: In your final year, you'll take on a specialist module in human-robot interaction, which will form the foundations of an individual research and development project. Under the guidance of a subject matter expert, you'll explore novel and emerging technologies. The specific topic you'll explore is then up to you, but could be inspired by the field of computational creativity and efforts to enhance the 'personality' of your robots. Engaging in collective innovation and enterprise, you'll apply your knowledge to a major team development project, in which you'll deliver an interesting and novel robot.
