Overview

Robotics researchers are employed in a wide range of occupations that are creating the next generation of technological devices. Roboticists create assistive robots (prosthetics, wearable robots), autonomous vehicles (cars, mining equipment, underwater, and aerial), automated warehouses, manufacturing systems, medical devices, and consumer products (vacuums, 3D printers, craft machines). Interdisciplinary skills, namely hardware (electrical, mechanical, and computational), programming, and algorithms, obtained by our Robotics degrees and certificates are important for a wide range of products that a company may wish to develop.

A Robotics PhD at the University of Utah combines interdisciplinary skills, namely electrical, mechanical, and computational, hardware, programming, and algorithms for a comprehensive Robotics education.
