Japan-Europe Master on Advanced Robotics (JEMARO)

Japan-Europe Master on Advanced Robotics (JEMARO)

The Joint Master's program JEMARO has been successfully selected under the Erasmus Mundus Programmes of Excellence.

JEMARO is implemented and fully supported by 4 major Higher Education Institutions:

• Ecole Centrale de Nantes, (ECN - Coordinator), France
• Keio University (Coordinator), Japan
• University of Genoa (UniGe, partner institution), Italy
• Warsaw University of Technology (WUT, partner institution), Poland

JEMARO is designed to promote a high-quality educational offer in the area of advanced and intelligent robotics. By mastering Mathematical Modeling, Control Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Design, students are able to deal with robotic systems as a whole.

Through lectures by reputable researchers, practical work on the latest experimental platforms, sessions with industrial specialists, annual workshops, JEMARO students acquire the most advanced knowledge that will prepare them for the upcoming challenges in robotics, more specifically in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

The language of instruction is English across the two years.

Mobility Scheme

The program of study lasts 2 academic years (120 ECTS) split into four equally loaded semesters.

JEMARO student mobility paths will take place in Europe for the first year (M1) and in Japan for the second year (M2).

Curriculum

Examples of courses available during the first year (60 ECTS)

• Linear control (ECN, UNIGE)
  
• Artifical Intelligence (ECN, WUT)
• Modelling of Manipulators (ECN)
• Advanced and Robot Programming (ECN & UNIGE)
• Software architecture for Robotics (UNIGE)
• Signal Processing (ECN, WUT)
• Computer Vision (ECN, WUT)

Although the JEMARO program is primarily concerned with the context of robotic systems, the concepts covered can be applied to a much wider range of other engineering and economic systems. The career prospects for JEMARO graduates are therefore excellent. They can be employed in various industrial and economic sectors, as the courses are adapted to today's high-tech society.

At the end of JEMARO, the student will have acquired the following skills:

• In-depth scientific and technical knowledge of robotics and related AI topics, as well as the skills necessary to use this knowledge effectively.
• Ability to master modern techniques for developing and designing innovative and autonomous robotic systems such as modeling, simulation, optimization, analysis, decision-making and control.
• Ability to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams, interacting effectively with specialists and taking initiative where necessary.
• Ability to communicate effectively (through written and oral presentations) in an international context,
• Ability to adopt the methods most suited to the problem posed and to select the technological components necessary for the implementation of the proposed solution.
• Ability to transfer high-tech methodologies from academia to industry.
