Doctoral Programme in Control Engineering, Automation and Robotics

The aim of this doctoral programme is to provide advanced training to future researchers in the area of Control Engineering, Automation and Robotics. More specifically, the lines of research focus on a variety of subjects, such as renewable energies, Industry 4.0 or factory of the future, and Smart Control to cover a wide range of needs. This discipline is transversal, and so it can be applied in many different fields. Control systems are embedded in all types of devices, from the cruise control system on aircraft, to manufacturing, assembly and production line systems, biomedical systems, renewable energy production systems or robotic systems, to name but a few. The aim is to provide, in a transparent way, stable, accurate and safe functioning in real time, offering high-performance services and, in short, benefits from different perspectives: energy saving, sustainable development, reduced pollution, and robustness.
