Surely you must choose :
-Linear Control Systems
-Linear Control Systems Laboratory
-Remote Sensing in Eng.: Science, Sensors, & App.
which are closely related to robotics, indeed controls engineering is the core of robotics systems, and additionally in robotics there is an extensive use and study of sensors and technology related to it...
