Máster en Ingeniería Mecatrónica

Mechatronic Engineering represents the fusion of technologies such as control, mechanics, electricity, electronics or computing that allow us to address the engineering challenges posed by new intelligent machines. It is a natural choice to explain a process that has as its purpose, from its origin, the creation of advanced products and engineering systems that are inextricably linked by the synergistic combination of mechanical, electronic, control and computer technologies.

This term is coined by Japanese industry in the 1970s -the time of development of the first industrial robots- and has, among other immediate antecedents, research in the area of cybernetics, numerical control machines, manipulators and automata. programmable. Today, robotics has come to be considered a generic term and yet, from a formal point of view, it could be considered a subset of Mechatronics. In many aspects, Mechatronics is the heir to the so-called "Electromechanical Systems" or "Automation and Control Systems".
