The Automatics and Cyber-Physical Systems theme is situatued in the field of systems and automatic engineering. IMT-Atlantique engineers will be able to understand and design complex dynamic systems whatever their nature (mechatronics, energy, biology, economics, etc.) or their application, through the study of dynamic behaviour. Cyber-physical systems are found everywhere, due to the increase in "embedded intelligence" in all sectors. They can be found in transport with the advent of autonomous vehicles (aeronautics, automobile, and rail), in industrial production, and increasingly in the energy and health sectors (such as smart-grids or medical robotics).
In concrete terms, this major will provide our engineers with R&D skills for designing, modelling and controlling complex systems from A to Z.
Automatics and Cyber-Physical Systems majors will become engineers for the future.
