Presentation
The main objective of the Robotics track of the Master EEA is to train high-level specialists in Robotics, Industrial Computing, Image Processing and Automation.
It is one of the natural extensions of the EEA (Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Automation) Bachelor's degree and of any other scientific and technological training in the fields of EEA, computer science, applied mathematics, mechatronics, etc.
During the first year (taught in French), students will take fundamental courses in electronics, energetics, automation and signal processing in the first semester, followed by specialization courses in robotics in the second semester. The second semester courses will allow them to learn the basics of robotics (manipulation and mobile), image processing and robot programming tools.
During the second year (taught in English), students will take courses in robot modeling and control, perception for robotics, optimization, artificial intelligence, embedded systems and programming. They will also have a course opening on research, targeting the most innovative applications of robotics (micro-manipulators, surgical robots, submarines, humanoids, virtual and augmented reality, operational safety, teleoperation, etc.). In the second semester of the second year, students will carry out a one-month research project in a laboratory or company, followed by a tutored internship (in a company or laboratory) of 4 to 6 months.
The course is open to alternating work-study through an apprenticeship contract. This contract allows students to acquire the theoretical bases during the weeks of training and to put them into practice during the periods spent in the company. This method of operation facilitates the development of skills. It also has the advantage for the student of being paid even before graduating.

The main objective of the robotics program is to prepare high-level specialists in Robotics, Industrial data processing, Image processing and Automation.
This Master Course is a natural extension of the Bachelor's Degree in EEA (Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Automation) of UM or of any other scientific and technological bachelors in related fields (e.g., computer science, applied mathematics, mechatronics, etc..).
During the first semester of the1st year of the Master (taught in French), students will follow basic courses in electronics, energy, control systems and signal processing. The second semester is mainly focused on specialized courses in robotics. These courses will allow students to learn the basics of robotics (both fixed and mobile base robots), image processing and robot programming tools.
During the second year, which is taught in English, the courses in the first semester include robot modelling and control, perception for robotics, optimization, artificial intelligence, embedded systems and programming. Students will also have a research-oriented course, targeting the most innovative applications of robotics (micro-manipulators, surgical robotics, submarine robotics, humanoids, virtual and augmented reality, operational safety, teleoperation, etc). In the second semester, students will carry out a one-month research project in a laboratory or a company, followed by a tutored internship (in a company or laboratory) of 4 to 6 months.
The Master course is also open to work-study through an apprenticeship contract. Such a contract allows students to acquire the theoretical bases during the training weeks and to put them into practice during the periods spent in the company. This mode of functioning improves their skills. It also has the advantage for the student to be paid before graduation.
The success rate calculated on the LMD4 is about 90%.

Objectives
This Master's course is aimed at the following professions
- Research, Studies and Development: these activities occupy about a quarter of the engineers and managers; pursuing a doctorate is also very common among graduates.
- Design, Programming and Control of robots: functions related to robotic and automated systems, production management in high-tech industries.
- Commercial activities: they concern jobs where relations with the customer complete the technical aspects.
- Teaching and training: graduates can become company trainers or, through competitive examination, teachers in secondary and higher education.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Positions typically occupied after a Master in Robotics:
- Research and Development: these concern about one quarter of pure alumni each year; many also pursue a PhD program.
- Robot Design, Programming and Control: mastering robotic and automated systems, managing production in high technology industries.
- Commercial activities: all jobs where customer relations complement the technical skills.
- Education and training: graduates can become trainers in companies or, through competitive exams, teachers in secondary and higher education.
Skills and expertise acquired through the Master Course:
- Modelling and control of mobile and anthropomorphic manipulators
- Signal and image processing

Organization
Special arrangements
The course is open to sandwich courses in M1 and M2.
The course is open to a double degree with the IAE (Institute of Business Administration).
Program
The Rob course of the Master EEA has a pedagogical progression over two years (4 semesters).
The first year of the Master's program consists of two semesters. The first semester is shared by all the courses of the Master EEA giving the basic theoretical knowledge and transversal skills in the EEA disciplines. In the second semester, the students of the Rob course follow specific UEs. The program also includes English and SHS (Human and Social Sciences) courses. Students carry out a project that may extend beyond the first semester and must complete an internship in a company or an end of study project.
The second year of the Master's program consists of two semesters. The first semester is taught in English, with both professional and research courses based on the specificities of the research laboratory linked to the Master's program. The second semester is devoted to a final year project and an industrial or research internship.
