Description
Can we use robotics to power a cleaner energy future?
Smart Energy Systems and Robotics explores the intersection of clean energy and automation. Students will design, build, and program a solar tracking system, integrating robotics, sensors, and control algorithms to optimise solar energy collection. They’ll gain real-world skills in robotics, sensor technology, and systems thinking while taking on challenges like a solar-tracking robot competition.
Through practical application, students learn how to program sensors, manage energy data, and develop automated responses to real-world energy problems. The program provides a strong foundation for careers in renewable energy, robotics, and systems engineering, empowering students to innovate for a sustainable future.
