Best Universities in the world for Robotics Engineering for 2013

Robotics Engineering, a field with multiple disciplines, is a combination of computer science, mechanical, and electrical engineering. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for robotics engineers would increase by 13 percent by 2018.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the University of Pennsylvania are the top two universities offering Robotics Engineering. The Robotic program laboratory (GRASP) of Penn is one of the leading research centers in the country. The Commission of ABET gave Engineering Accreditation to WPI’s Robotics Engineering and it was the first program of this kind to receive such an accreditation in the nation.

Some of the best universities in the world for robotics engineering are as follows:

Berkeley – Robotics Lab

A wide range of topics is covered in the Robotics research at UC Berkeley that includes micromechanical flying insects, medical robotics and robot learning.

 

 

Boston University – Robotics

Boston University has an Intelligent Mechatronics Lab (IML), a Hybrid and Networked Systems (HyNeSs) Lab, BioRobotics Lab, Control of Nonlinear Phenomena and Bifurcations Lab.

 

Case Western Reserve University–  Biorobotics Laboratary

TetraSpine and SeaDog are some of the cool inventions of the Biorobotics Lab of Case Western Reserve University.

Carnegie Mellon – Field Robotics Center

They’re trying to change the future of field robotics by producing visionaries, who create the technology and robots of tomorrow. The contribution of the center in the field of robotics engineering is well recognized all over the world.

 

Carnegie Mellon – Robotics Academy

Teachers here are trying to excite the students by showing them the motivational effects of Robotics.

 

Carnegie Mellon – The Robotics Institute

It was founded in 1979 and is still the leading institute committed to integrating robotic technologies in the lives of people.

Columbia University – Robotics Group

The University of Columbia has advanced computational tools, autonomous vehicles and the facility for Protein Crystal Mounting among many others.

Duke University – Robotics

The Robotics Team of the Duke is trying hard to make an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) in order to compete in the annual Office of Naval Research and Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (ONR/AUVSI) Underwater Robotics Competition.

Harvard – The Robotics Laboratory

No introduction needed. Just get there!

Indiana University – Robotics Club

They are working to provide a platform for people to learn almost everything from hardware to electronics, and similarly from fabrication of parts to programming.
