MLRC Master – Machine Learning, Robotics and Control

The Master’s degree program in Machine Learning, Robotics and Control (MLRC) – conducted in English – is aimed at graduates of bachelor’s degree programs who possess basic knowledge of automatic control and wish to deepen their understanding in research areas that focus on:

  • fundamental concepts of machine learning; design and implementation of intelligent systems; modeling of robotic systems;
  • techniques based on artificial intelligence for robotic systems; applications in the field of robotics;
  • development of algorithms and control structures using programming environments, advanced technologies for controlling intelligent systems in the context of Industry 4.0.

Why Machine Learning, Robotics and Control ?

The refinement of preparation during undergraduate studies can bring, in addition to personal satisfaction, increased chances of employment and the development of a successful career in a field that is highly valued now and in the future.

In this regard, the Department of Automation and Applied Computer Science offers the master’s program in Machine Learning, Robotics and Control, with a curriculum compatible with similar programs in the European Union.
