Northwestern’s MSR unites mechanical design, perception, AI planning, and HRI in a studio-driven curriculum. Students build untethered soft robots, program multi-agent swarms, and deploy ROS-2 stacks on agile quadrupeds. Collaborative projects with Shirley Ryan AbilityLab innovate exoskeletons, while partnerships with NASA and Deere advance field robotics. Graduates excel as autonomy engineers, startup founders, or PhD candidates.
