Robotics and Automation, Master's Thesis
About
About the course
Course content
Industrial robotics with a focus on applications within production. This includes kinematics and programming of industrial robots, robotic welding, robotic assembly, and other industrial applications. Computer vision for use in robotic systems is an important area. Industrial computer systems for the implementation of robotic manufacturing systems, Industry 4.0, subsea control systems, and mechatronics. Automation for offshore applications with a focus on top-side automation for drilling platforms and control systems for subsea production systems for oil and gas.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
Knowledge of robotics, included kinematics, geometry, programming, sensor technology, and computer vision.
Skills:
Develop and implement robotic systems, included programming and implementation of computer systems, sensor systems, and computer vision. Modeling, simulation, and design of control systems for offshore applications.
Competence:
Competence in computer systems and robotic systems in production and automation systems for offshore applications.
Learning methods and activities
Independent project work with guidance and advice.
The language of supervision depends on what has been agreed on with the supervisor. The master's thesis can be written in Norwegian or English.
Incoming exchange students who want to write a master's thesis at MTP can contact
Further on evaluation
Information about writing and submitting your master's thesis is found in Academic writing. Especially note the information given under Writing and submitting your master's thesis. Your area of study is Engineering/Technology. If the project is performed as group work, the students and supervisor shall make an agreement (preferably at start-up) about individual or joint assessment of the final project report.
The master's thesis has to be submitted in NTNU's examination system Inspera Assessment. The deadline for submitting the master's thesis is 20 weeks from the starting date (the students have additional 6 weeks if they are writing a master thesis abroad.) + 7 days for Easter/Christmas holidays.
Applications for an extended deadline must be submitted to the Faculty of Engineering. Students who fail the master's thesis, can submit a new or revised thesis once. It is not possible to improve an awarded grade by submitting a new thesis. The deadline for the assessment of the master's thesis is 3 months.
