Master of Science by Research - Informatics: IPAB: Robotics, Computer Vision, Computer Graphics and Animation

The Institute of Perception, Action and Behavior (IPAB) focuses on how to link computational perception, representation, transformation and generation processes to external worlds, in theory and in practice.

This covers domains such as visual perception, dynamic control of robot systems, active sensing and decision making, biomimetic robotics, computer-based generation of external phenomena, such as images, music or actions, and agent-based interaction within computer games and animation.

Supported by the dynamic research culture of IPAB, students can develop robots that learn their own motor control, mimic animal behaviors, or produce autonomous and coordinated team actions. Or students can work with systems that interpret real images and video, or generate complex behavior in animated characters.

University of Edinburgh aims to link strong theoretical perspectives with practical hands-on construction, and provide the hardware and software support to realize this vision.
