Entrance Exam Description

During the selection process we examine the competency of the applicant in two ways:
The faculty decides about the eligibility of the applicant by examining the documents of previous studies (degree, subject, results). This is followed by an entrance exams that evaluate the level of study-language and specialty exam.
The exams can be conducted online. In order to validate the entrant’s person, exams taken remotely are recorded on video, as is the person verification process. The recording is archived for at least five years on University’s grounds and the link to that recording is available in the united base of Ministry of Education of Ukraine.

Program Structure

Year 1
Semester 1- Advanced Robotics: Kinematics & Dynamics; Control Systems for Robots (state-space, nonlinear, PID/MPC); Sensors & Actuators (IMU, LiDAR, force/torque; drive systems) — lab; Embedded & Real-Time Systems (MCU, RTOS, C/C++) — lab; Research Methods & Academic Writing
Semester 2: Robot Perception & Machine Vision (feature detection, CNNs) — lab; Motion/Path Planning & Optimization (graph search, sampling, MPC); SLAM & Localization (EKF/UKF, particle filters) — project; Robotics Middleware & Integration (ROS/ROS2, DDS, CAN, EtherCAT) — lab; Safety, Standards & Ethics in Robotics (ISO 10218/TS 15066, HRI); Industrial/Applied Project or Short Internship

Year 2
Semester 3
- Electives (choose 2–3): Mobile & Aerial Robotics (UAV/UGV); Manipulation & Grasping; Collaborative/Industrial Robotics; Mechatronic Design & Additive Manufacturing; Digital Twins & IIoT; Autonomous Driving Basics
- Research Seminar & Prototype Development
- Master’s Thesis & Defense

Overview

Build advanced skills in robot kinematics/dynamics, control, perception, and SLAM.
Work hands-on with sensors, actuators, embedded/real-time systems, and ROS/ROS2.
Design motion planning and machine-vision pipelines for mobile and industrial robots.
Deliver an applied project and a master’s thesis tied to real engineering tasks.
Main edge: a practice-driven robotics track that fuses mechatronics + control + AI/vision on modern stacks (ROS/ROS2, embedded, simulation), preparing you to prototype and deploy real robots—not just model them.

Career Opportunities

Graduates design and deploy robotic systems for manufacturing lines, warehouses, and logistics (AGVs/AMRs, cobots).
