Advanced computer technology is used to design complex technical systems for monitoring and controlling many types of processes in industry, energy production, environmental monitoring, transportation, aerospace, etc.
In relation to the programme option of robotics and artificial intelligent, this specialisation has its main focus of cybernetics applications that are central to the Department of Technology Systems at Kjeller and the Research detaparments at Kjeller. This is relevant for navigation and control of aircraft, ships, robots and autonomous submarine vehicles, and monitoring problems related to Norway's vast seas, energy production and environmental monitoring.
The specialisation is anchored in the research group Section for Autonomous Systems and Sensor Technologies (AUTOSENS) at the Department of Technology Systems at Kjeller. It would be natural to write a master thesis in cooperation with this group.
