MORE ABOUT THE DEGREE
The Master’s Degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is structured to provide comprehensive training that combines theoretical foundations, practical development, and interdisciplinary application. The courses cover key areas of the field, such as machine learning algorithms, perception and computer vision, control of robotic systems, and the development of autonomous solutions.
In addition, the program integrates modules that promote critical thinking, innovation, and collaborative work, with a focus on solving real-world problems in sectors such as Industry 4.0, healthcare, and others. This approach enables students to develop the technical and strategic competencies needed to lead technological projects in a global context.
The Postgraduate Program in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is structured in two academic tracks:
-
Specialization in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (duration: 18 months)
-
Master’s Degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (duration: 24 months)
Applicants may complete the Specialization as a standalone program or continue afterwards toward the Master’s degree.
The first cohort of the Master’s Degree is intended for graduates of the Specialization in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence or for students who are in the final stage of the program, with only the submission and defense of their final project remaining. The aim is to allow them to expand, deepen, and further specialize their academic and professional trajectory in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Admission to this cohort will take place through a specific call for applications.
The second cohort, planned for 2027, will be open to graduates of university or tertiary degree programs that are equivalent or recognized as such, with a minimum duration of four years.
Students who have completed the credits corresponding to the Specialization in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence track may enter directly into the fourth semester of the master’s program.
Applicants holding the following qualifications may also apply: Technological Engineers (DGETP-UTU), teachers graduated from CFE/ANEP, and Technologists.
Applicants must demonstrate interest in the field and possess basic, verifiable knowledge of programming, which will be assessed through a specific test.
Graduates of the Master’s Degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence will possess advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in robotics and AI, as well as mastery of a set of methods, techniques, and technologies that will enable them to address key challenges at regional, national, and international levels.
Graduates are expected to develop an ethical perspective, grounded in the promotion of a more just society through the responsible use of these technologies, thereby contributing to the protection of human rights. Graduates may work in companies and institutions in both the public and private sectors in areas such as manufacturing, healthcare, education, services, agribusiness, and the environment, among others considered relevant.
The Master’s Degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence offers three areas of emphasis, from which students must choose: Robotics; Artificial Intelligence; and Social Impact of Technology. Depending on the chosen emphasis, graduates will develop the following capabilities:
● Robotics: design of robotic algorithms, integration of sensors and actuators, real-time programming, and modeling and simulation of robotic systems.
● Artificial Intelligence: development of machine learning and deep learning models, analysis of large-scale datasets, algorithm optimization, and implementation of intelligent systems in real-world applications.
● Social Impact of Technology: critical analysis of the effects of emerging technologies such as AI and robotics, ethical and regulatory approaches, promotion of inclusion, and development of adaptive strategies for educational institutions.
The Master’s Degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is delivered in a blended learning format. Up to the intermediate specialization degree, courses are offered at the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG, Rio Grande – RS, Brazil), the National University of Rafaela (UNRAf – Santa Fe, Argentina), and the Technological University of Uruguay (UTEC, Rivera – Uruguay).
After completing the specialization, the master’s stage will be delivered exclusively at UTEC in Uruguay, with the support of the Computational Science Center at FURG.
The Master’s Degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is tuition-free. A total of 10 places will be offered, open to anyone who meets the admission requirements, regardless of nationality.
The selection process requires pre-registration through the web form as a mandatory condition, including submission of the documentation requested in the corresponding call for applications.
All applicants must go through a selection process consisting of the following stages:
-
Document review.
-
Submission and evaluation of the Master’s Final Project proposal.
-
Interview, consisting of a brief presentation of the proposed Master’s Final Project according to the criteria established in the call for applications.
The selection process will be conducted by a selection committee composed of professors representing the Master’s Degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
Once pre-registrations open, you will need to access the form available on this page.
