The demand for robots and capable engineers is growing steadily. Students do need a skillset from a wide variety of trades. The minor robotics teaches these students how to combine these skills in courses on electronics, mechanics, computer science and industrial design.

Researchers from TU Delft, University of Twente, VUmc and the Radboud umc, have developed a robotic arm that can support the daily activities of people suffering the muscular disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
