The Automatic and the Robotics These are disciplines that have characteristics that make them unique compared to other fields of engineering Automatic It allows for precise control of systems and machines, improving efficiency and reducing human error, while the Robotics It fosters the creation of smart devices capable of performing complex tasks autonomously or collaboratively. These are highly cross-cutting subjects, in that they have applications in virtually every field, such as the manufacture of goods and equipment, energy generation and management, communications, biology, medicine, and even the entertainment and leisure industry.

These are rapidly developing technologies that employ methods and procedures to replace humans with artificial operators for both physical and mental tasks. Among many other things, these disciplines enable improvements in product manufacturing in terms of quality and production times, allow operation in environments hazardous to living beings, and are essential for the functioning of complex, unstable systems, such as drones. 

This specialization introduces the student, at a theoretical and practical level, to subjects such as control engineering, automation, robotics, and advanced perception technologies, including machine vision.  The specialization program is divided into two years. The first year covers introductory subjects. The second year addresses more advanced concepts, including subjects such as Artificial Intelligence applications in Automation and technologies related to the Digital Industry. 

This specialization is taught by professors from the Department of Systems Engineering and Automation,  department that is at the forefront worldwide in this field, with the University of Seville ranking among the top 150 universities in the world according to the Shanghai Ranking  in Automation & Control, and the first at the national level.

In the 2025/26 academic year, the first-year courses will be offered, and in 2026/27, the second-year courses. These courses are taken concurrently with the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Technology Engineering ( GITI-2010 ). The following table shows the correspondence between the courses in this specialization and those in GITI-2010.
