<p>Does anyone have a good source of information on graduate programs in robotics. Does every good engineering school generally have some sort of robotics program? I feel like robotics should be a burgeoning field, but it doesn't seem like a ton of schools are focusing research on them besides CMU and MIT.</p>
<p>Are we talking about the US only? I hear Japan is pretty robot crazy :D. There have always been some pretty interesting robot tech demos out of some of the top uni's over there.</p>
<p>I just went through the search for robotics grad programs. I am going to the University of Pennsylvania which has a Masters degree program in robotics (grasp.upenn.edu). UPenn and CMU are the only schools that offer degrees in robotics (which is a large part of the reason I choose the school I did). The robotics degrees are unique because they give you the opportunity to take classes in a variety of different fields related to robotics instead of being stuck in a specific department.</p>
<p>There are a lot of schools that do research in robotics, but most schools only have research in specific departments (CS, EE, ME) so you have to do a lot of searching to find schools with robotics research in your specialty. I am a mechanical engineer, and I applied and was accepted to CMU, UPenn, VT, JHU, Ohio State, and WPI which all have strong robotics with a more mechanical focus. Other robotics schools include MIT and Stanford.</p>

<p>Untrue, as of now. Georgia Tech offers a PhD in robotics.</p>
<p>I thought RPI also offered a masters in robotics.</p>
<p>is stanfords grad program in robotics under the computer science division?</p>
<p>Yes, it is. And, it is the most selective of the lot currently.</p>
