Master's Degree in Automation and Industrial Informatics

Automatic control is everywhere, usually embedded in devices and applications, so it becomes really obvious when a failure occurs. A good design -whether it is the flight control system of an airplane, the production control system in a tile plant, the stabilization of a vehicle in adverse conditions or the supervision system of a robotic surgical aid team , to name a few representative applications - provides operational safety, high dynamic and static performance and, ultimately, a general benefit from various perspectives: energy saving, sustainable development, reduced pollution, safety...

The implementation of control systems is based on real-time, embedded and miniaturized computer systems, with the current trend towards autonomy and reduced use of resources. The use of robots and manipulators, not only in the automotive industry but also in many others, such as surgery or remote sensing, requires specific training in automation, robotics, computer vision and industrial computing.
