Notes

  1. This module will be compulsory for students who have not previously taken Intelligent Robotics 06-13520. Students who have taken 06-13520 will take a combination of options and two mini-projects up to the full credit requirement.
  2. Not all options may be available in any particular year. Some option combinations are only available if the timetable permits. As students may have to make preliminary option choices before timetables are available, changes may be needed later if there are clashes. In selecting options, students need to pay attention to pre- and co-requisites.
  3. Students' individual programmes of study must be approved by the Programme Director (as the nominee of the Head of School).
