Overview
About the Programme
The Automatic Control, Robotics and Computer Vision programme of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia provides a framework for students to complete doctoral theses in these fields, which are of vital importance in traditional industry and many service applications. Work is carried out mainly under the supervision of professors associated with the programme, using research facilities made available by the two units responsible for the degree (IOC and ESAII); the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI), which collaborates very actively with the programme; and the research groups involved.
The doctoral programme in Automatic Control, Robotics and Vision is a natural continuation of the master's degree in Automatic Control and Robotics (a UPC programme taught in English). Students who complete this master’s degree are therefore eligible for direct admission to the doctoral programme. Students with degrees in related fields may also be considered for admission. The academic committee will require that students admitted with other degrees complete specific bridging courses from the master’s degree in Automatic Control and Robotics (selected on a case-by-case basis) to ensure that they have the knowledge and skills needed to conduct research and complete a doctoral thesis in one of the areas covered by the programme.
