The University offers dedicated robotics and communications laboratories, where students focus on industrial and intelligent robotic systems and high frequency electronics.

Laboratory facilities

  • Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing with surface mount facility in-house allows you to construct professional quality six layer boards with state-of-the-art components.
  • We have a class 100 and a class 10 Clean Room. These form the Wolfson Nanomagnetics Laboratory - a cleanroom based laboratory for research and student projects in spintronics, nanotechnology, multifunctional material/devices and biosensors.
  • Our communications laboratory has a full range of industry standard high frequency (HF) test equipment. You will be able to build and test HF systems from discrete component level through to the interfacing multi-band communication chip-sets (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) commonly used in consumer electronics.
  • We have mechanical workshop facilities including 3D printing and laser cutting.
  • For a hands-on student experience we offer full access to a suite of laboratories equipped with a range of power supplies, test equipment, soldering stations and computers with specialist software (Labcenter Electronics ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ˜Proteus Design SuiteÂÌñ»»ÆÞ™ CAD package, National InstrumentsÂÌñ»»ÆÞ™ LabVIEWÂÌñ»»ÆÞ™, Altera ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ˜QuartusÂÌñ»»ÆÞ™, Mathworks ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ˜MATLABÂÌñ»»ÆÞ™ and Keil ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ˜uVisionÂÌñ»»ÆÞ˜ IDE).

Robotics facilities

Our robotics facilities and specialist laboratories enable a hands-on approach to learning. 
Based on the main city-centre campus, we have a number of different laboratories and robots on the upper two floors of the Smeaton building.
