What is the cutoff point for “Artificial Intelligence and Robotics”.
The university does not give specific cutoff points for each programme.
So what does it do…. Robotics is in the engineering section
Robotics is a branch of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering, and computer science. It’s all about the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. It’s also the computer systems for their control, sensory feedback and information processing.
