The Automatic and the Robotics They are disciplines that have characteristics that make them unique with respect to other fields of engineering. The Automatic allows the precise control of systems and machines, improving efficiency and reducing human errors, while Robotics It promotes the creation of smart devices capable of performing complex tasks autonomously or collaboratively. They are very transversal materials, in the sense that they have applications practically in all areas, such as the manufacture of goods and equipment, the generation and management of energy, communications, biology, medicine, and even the entertainment industry and leisure.

They are technologies with an exponential development that deal with methods and procedures that allow replacing the human with artificial operators to perform both physical and mental tasks. These disciplines allow, among many other things, to improve the manufacture of products in terms of quality and production times, to act in dangerous environments for living beings; And they are essential to operate unstable complex systems, such as drones. 

This specialty introduces the student, at theoretical and practical level, in subjects such as control engineering, automation, robotics, and advanced perception technologies, including artificial vision.  The specialty itinerary is divided into two courses. The first is intended for introductory subjects in these matters. In the second annuity, more advanced concepts are addressed, including subjects such as applications of artificial intelligence in automatic and technologies related to digital industry. 

This specialty is taught by professors of the Department of Systems and Automatic Engineering,  department that is at the world avant -garde in this field, including the University of Seville among the best 150 world universities according to the Shanghai ranking  in Automation & Control, and the first nationwide.

In the 2025/26 course, the subjects of the first course will be offered and in 2026/27 those of the second year. These subjects are taken together with the degree in Industrial Technologies Engineering ( GITI-2010 ). The following table shows the correspondence between the subjects of the specialty and those of the Giti-2010.
