Overview

While we shouldn’t overindulge in thinking about the catastrophic future scenarios of science fiction, but… the future belongs to robots! They will drive us around, will take care of our houses, mow our lawn, prepare drinks or food for us. This is already happening – according to research, the number of robots currently in the global workforce is 2.25 million and has doubled since 2010.

Upon completion of the bachelor’s study programme in Intelligent Robotics Systems at KTU, you will be able to develop, design, install and service robots and their systems for use both in households and industries, such as aerospace or military.

You will learn to program and to train robots, to analyse electromechanical processes, to control complex equipment, to use computer vision or the Internet of Things.

While studying in this study programme you will practice in the laboratories equipped with the latest technology at the University and in the training centres of international companies such as Festo, Siemens, Schneider Electric, PhoenixContact, Wonderware, Allen Bradley.

• State-of-the-art research facilities established and supported by business partners such as Schneider Electric, Siemens, ABB, Festo, etc.
• Exclusive access to EduNet laboratory by Phoenix Contact for KTU students
• Talented students can join an advanced study path of KTU GIFTed Community

Top reasons to study at KTU:

1. The best laboratories in the Baltics (by international accreditation experts, 2015), established and supported by business partners such as Schneider Electric, Siemens, ABB, Festo, etc.

2. Being the only Baltic member of EduNet network, KTU provides exclusive opportunity to the students to get professional training at EduNet laboratory by Phoenix Contact.

3. According to the employers, the KTU graduates are able to apply robotisation solutions in industry due to the analysis of manufacturing processes during the studies.

Career opportunities

“In nowadays world robots and manipulator systems are an integral part of the industry. They have become irreplaceable in such areas and tasks as rapid sorting, packaging, object conveyance, testing, fastening, painting, etc. Robots and manipulators allow to reduce the need for the highly physically demanding human labor and help to increase production efficiency which is vital in highly competitive markets.” – Rimvydas Kisielius, UAB “FESTO”, Deputy CEO.
