Robotics
Robotics researchers working at MBZUAI explore the design and control of autonomous systems, integrating, sensing, mechanical actuation, and intelligent decision-making for robots.
Our researchers develop robotic solutions for industrial automation, human assistance, and medical procedures, advancing research across environmental, social, and healthcare domains.
Our students, supervised by our world-class faculty, get unique hands-on experience in our Robotics Lab, centered on the foundation of embodied AI.
The University offers Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in robotics with exceptionally advanced courses and outcomes.
Chair's Message
Robotics is where artificial intelligence (AI) meets the physical world. At MBZUAI, we are building the ‘brains’ that allow machines to perceive, act, and communicate with humans in the real world. It is not just an analogy of human brain for a robot, but a constructive approach to explain the human brain from the information science. Robotics will embody the AI and lead to the artificial general intelligence (AGI) in the real world. Students in robotics will study the foundation of embodied AI and become innovators in the real world, such as homes, hospitals, farms, constructions, factories, and urban mobilities.
