Robotics and Machine Intelligence Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences

The study programme Robotics and Machine Intelligence prepares graduates for careers in fields where engineering, software and intelligence come together. Graduates can work on robotic systems, automation solutions, multi-axis production machines, embedded software, autonomous devices, sensor-based applications and intelligent technical systems.

The programme is particularly relevant for students who want to work close to real technology. Its combination of software development, robotics, AI and engineering fundamentals prepares graduates for roles that require not only programming skills, but also a deep understanding of technical systems and their physical environment.

The curriculum is designed as a step-by-step pathway into modern robotics. In the first study phase, students build essential knowledge in informatics, mathematics, and engineering basics. These foundations are important for understanding robotic systems not only as software applications, but as real technical systems with sensors, actuators, control mechanisms and physical behaviour. In parallel, German language courses and Technical German are integrated into the curriculum.

In the next phase, the focus shifts towards programming, artificial intelligence, robotics, sensor technology, software engineering, simulation and autonomous systems. Students learn how to connect computational methods with engineering applications and how to develop software for machines that interact with the real world.

The later semesters include an internship semester, advanced robotics and AI topics, technical electives and the Bachelor’s thesis. This allows students to apply their knowledge in practical contexts and to develop an individual profile in fields such as embedded AI, autonomous systems, industrial robotics or sensitive and medical robotics.
