I took an unique approach in shortlisting the best Robotics universities according to their domain, here is how I did it



Looked into the research areas of Professors who have done significant progress in their respective fields of Robotics.

Looked into Robotics competitions conducted by NASA and shortlisted the finalists in the last 5 years.

As I always say, it is not the university or the department that matters the most, what matters is the Professor under whom you are going to work. I strongly believe your advisor has great influence in what your future is going to be, thus this approach. (Because my advisor had a great role to play in my future)



I have picked best universities for each sub  fields, take a look at it.



The first one is swarm robotics  (No particular order of superiority followed)



1. MIT  Massachusetts Institute of Technology  Prof. Daniela Rus



2. Stanford University  Prof. Mac Schwager



3. University of Pennsylvania  Prof. Vijay Kumar



4. University of Colorado  Boulder  Prof. Nikolaus Correll



5. Harvard University  Prof. Radhika Nagpal



6. Northwestern University  Prof. Mike Rubinstein



7. Arizona State University  Prof. Spring Berman



8. Texas A&M  Prof. Dylan Shell

That is a pretty exhaustive list of universities. Actually, my team has put together the top 40 robotics universities. I thought it would be too much to put it here, you can get access to the google sheets from here. (NOTE: You will be asked to share a post in order to get access to this sheet)



All the best.
