Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Intelligent Field Robotic System

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Intelligent Field Robotic Systems (IFRoS) is a 2-year joint master degree with 120 ECTS coordinated by the Universitat de Girona (UdG, Spain) together with the University of Zagreb (UNIZG, Croatia) and the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE, Hungary) as partners.

IFRoS is aimed at a new generation of engineers who will develop new applications and tools to expand the capabilities of field robots in the near future. The technology behind these systems comes from different research areas such as artificial intelligence, computer vision, control, sensorization, machine learning, manipulation, all of them under fast-paced evolution in the current digital revolution. IFRoS addresses the lack of master programs dedicated to intelligent robots and, more specifically, to field robotic systems.

Students can choose between two different itineraries, according to their preference. The programme is structured in four semesters, of 30 ECTS each. The first two semesters take place in Girona and provide a solid foundation in field robotics, with focus on land and marine robots. During the 3rd semester, students may choose a programme oriented towards multiple robots and aerial vehicles in Zagreb, or a programme oriented towards autonomous systems and self-driving land vehicles in Budapest. During the last semester, students will prepare a master´s thesis, which can be hosted by any of the consortium universities or associated partners.

The IFROS master is taught in English and is very programming intensive. In addition to a solid background in engineering and computer science, the prospective students need to have a strong knowledge in the Python programming language, and the equivalent of a level B2 in English language.

IFRoS is targeted at students that have completed a first degree in areas related to Computer Science, Mathematics, Robotics, or Engineering-based (Biomedical, Electronics, Industrial, Mechanical and similar), and who want to pursue deeper knowledge in field robotics.

The primary aim of the IFRoS program is to cultivate a diverse knowledge base in robotics, drawing from various backgrounds. This objective is accomplished through the combined expertise of our core faculty spanning three host universities in Hungary, Croatia, and Spain, as well as through the inclusion of visiting scholars from diverse companies and institutions. These scholars greatly enhance the program´s richness and diversity by sharing insights across a spectrum of subjects, including technical know-how, entrepreneurship, and knowledge transfer.
