Robotics for Mechanical Engineers in Europe

Among the many rising interdisciplinary areas in science, robotics is an essential area that is vital to many modern industries. Globally, the scope for robotics engineers is on the rise. This subject deals with designing, structuring, and building robots by using a computer to program and process them. A lot of universities offer a degree in robotics but it is usually offered by the faculty of Electrical engineering. In this article, we have handpicked 5 universities across Europe that offer Masters in Robotics for a Mechanical engineer:
