Automatic Control and Robotics

2026/27, first-cycle programme (inżynier), full-time studies

A graduate of the Automation and Robotics (AiR) program with an engineering degree is prepared for creative engineering work and for carrying out design tasks related to automation and robotics in the machinery, food, processing, chemical, textile, energy, and transportation industries. An essential part of their education is the ability to solve interdisciplinary problems in the fields of mechanics, automation, electronics, and control. The graduate is qualified to work as a designer, technologist, programmer, automation engineer, robotics engineer, or project engineer.

Key competencies of a first-cycle Automation and Robotics student:

  • Technical – possesses the knowledge and skills needed to design, analyze, and commission simple automation, robotics, and control systems. Can program basic control algorithms, configure PLC controllers, use sensors and actuators, and operate engineering software (CAD, MATLAB, LabVIEW, etc.).
  • Analytical – understands the operation of systems and interprets data, can analyze the behavior of dynamic systems, interpret measurement results, and diagnose basic technical problems. Applies mathematical and IT methods to solve typical engineering tasks and can partially conduct independent scientific research.
  • Integrative – can combine the basic components of automation systems: mechanics, electronics, control systems, and software. Understands how these elements interact and is capable of building a working prototype of low complexity.
  • Work organization and teamwork – can work in a project team, perform assigned tasks, communicate progress, and use tools that support group work.

Chair of the Programme Board - prof. dr hab. inż. Leszek Podsędkowski

The programme was approved by Senate Resolution No. 42/2026 of 1 April 2026.
