Major in Robotics Engineering

This program instills students with the ability to construct and apply devices and software to the advanced automatization of instruments, machines, and complex productive processes, integrating knowledge from the areas of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and the computer sciences.

Robotics is characterized today not only for being used in the performance of repetitive industrial manufacturing tasks, but also for its medical, scientific and military applications. The development and use of robots is especially useful in finding solutions to dangerous and expensive jobs or manual tasks, or that combine both aspects.
