Of course!
But I didn't know the word "automaton", and related with robotics, in spanish, sounds funny

From
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/automatonau·tom·a·ton (ô-tm-tn, -tn)
n. pl. au·tom·a·tons or au·tom·a·ta (-t)
[Latin, self-operating machine, from Greek, from neuter of automatos, self-acting; see automatic.]
By te way... in spanish is also "automata"
