Why study Robotics Engineering at Miami University?
Miami University offers the longest-running Robotics Engineering B.S. undergraduate program in Ohio, a state which has evolved into a hotbed of activity when it comes to robotics and manufacturing engineering. With dedicated labs for robotics engineering, small class sizes, and one-on-one mentoring and research opportunities, Miami University is the ideal location for diving into the exciting world of robotics engineering.
Robotics Engineering majors can take advantage of dedicated robotics labs on our Oxford campus, such as:
Industrial Robotics Laboratory
Equipped with state-of-the-art industrial robotics components, this dedicated robotics laboratory gives undergraduate students the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge learned in class to real-world applications that demonstrate robotic principles. In this lab, students also have the opportunity to become certified in a leading manufacturer of robotic systems, which is a certification many employers seek in job candidates.
Mobile Robots and Systems Control Laboratory
This laboratory offers undergraduate students the opportunity to experiment wih NI-Elvis boards, LabVIEW and MultiSim software, virtual instruments (function generator, oscilloscope, etc.), sensors and actuators, microcontrollers, and the Quanser Qube-Servo 2 along with the linear servo base unit, seesaw and inverted pendulum attachments.
Additional Opportunities
Undergraduate Research
