Master's Degree in Industrial Computing and Robotics
General information
Goals
Respond to the demand of the industrial sector, which needs to incorporate professionals capable of combining knowledge of industrial processes, robotics and computer skills applied to such processes.
Interdisciplinary specialization in the common area of industrial production environments and Information and Communications Technologies, both at the level of software and hardware tools: PLCs, robots, SCADA systems, field buses, simulation tools, and other devices are essential elements for the operation of today's production systems.
Training of researchers and professionals in the common field of industrial production environments and Information and Communications Technologies
Career opportunities
Design, develop and implement digital systems for industrial automation
Analyze industry data to extract valuable insights and propose improvement solutions at all levels of the company (field, production planning, and management).
Development of programming solutions in industrial environments (both at the operational and management levels).
Development of solutions for the management of digital information in the industry.
Program artificial intelligence systems in different industrial systems.
Development of additive manufacturing solutions (3D printing).
Implementation of cloud computing and industrial IoT systems.
Programming of mobile robots and manipulators.
Deploy and configure industrial communications networks.
Those who continue their training in research will be able to pursue doctoral studies. In particular, the Master's in Industrial Computing and Robotics is aligned with the ULL's doctoral program in Industrial, Computer Science, and Environmental Engineering.
