Education

The programme operates at various levels, aiming to identify individuals interested in robotics and AI at an early stage and to support those who have decided to pursue a career in these fields.

Talent development: This includes research-oriented, AI-based robotics in teaching, as well as introductory robotics courses at the university level leading to a bachelor’s degree, English-language master’s programmes in robotics, doctoral qualification programmes, internships in industry, and specific further training.

Talent recruitment: Engaging with schools to spark an interest in robotics and AI at a young age through courses and events is one approach to attracting young talent. However, stimulating interest is also crucial during university studies. After all, not everyone studying physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or bioengineering immediately considers pursuing a career in robotics and AI. Therefore, for example, the aim is to enable bachelor’s students to train as robotics researchers, provide a fast track to a doctorate, and attract students to master’s programmes in robotics.

The RIG Talent Programme serves as the foundation for making Germany one of the leading nations in robotics and AI.
