Who is a Robotics Engineer?

Robotics and other combinations will make the world pretty fantastic compared with today ~ Bill Gates

In career as robotics engineer, individuals are behind the scenes designers who are responsible for creating robots and robotic systems that are able to perform duties that humans are either unable to complete or prefer not to do by themselves. We have all witnessed or been part of debates like, “Will robots replace humans?” They may or they may not but, one thing’s for sure that a robot comes into existence due to the tireless efforts of robotics engineers. The field of robotics is very exciting and if you wish to create something as good as a humanoid robot or a pre-programmed robot, then choosing the field of robotics engineering is the right choice for you. This field is booming at the moment. Individuals in robotics career path are putting in efforts to enhance the robot mechanism and you can be one of them too.

Robotics Engineer in a Nutshell

A career in robotics engineering is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science engineering that deals with the pattern, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. The three most important ‘programming’ skills for robotics engineering are abstraction, pragmatism, and adaptability. Students can also pursue Automation and Robotics to become a robotics engineer. Individuals in robotics career path will change the entire world in the upcoming decades, with the inventions of new robots. 

What is the role of Robotics Engineer?

Working conditions for a robotics engineer involve designing, testing, and building robots that are productive and safe to operate. They also see the fact that the robots should be economical so that it is easy for people to buy and maintain them. Robotics Engineers use various software to complete their tasks such as computer-aided design and drafting and computer-aided manufacturing (CADD/CAM). A robotics engineering career involves application the robotic system to a particular use on a manufacturing assembly line is called robotics test engineers. Robotics engineers must determine the particular need of each application and customize the robots accordingly. Individuals who opt for a career as a robotics engineer also prepare specifications for the robot’s capabilities as they relate to the work environment. 

Research work

A robotics engineer performs research activities into the functionality, design, operation, or efficiency of robotic systems, devices, or machines including circular rovers, and several robotic devices. Solid research work is essential in the field of robotics.

Develop software solutions

A robotics engineer develops several software robotics structures for the purpose of environmental clean-up. This approach helps in reducing several health risks because of the dangerous substances used, or to boost the clean-up process in an efficient manner.

Create products

A robotics engineer constructs industrial robot systems in order to improve the accuracy of manufacturing in automated RNA (ribonucleic acid) analysis and also of assembling of material resources. This is done to improve the efficiency in the manufacturing units of the organisation.

Examining

A robotics engineer studies write, examine, and interpret several schematic and analytical and technological methodologies. In addition, robotics engineers write software, they are responsible for building electronic components, as well as design elements’ mechanisms.

Testing

The models and robotic devices that are developed are studied and tested by robotics engineers. It is typically a never-ending process because technologies continue to evolve as well as expand on a daily basis and it is important that a robotics engineer is up to date with all the changes happening in the technological world.

What is the job outlook for Robotics Engineer?

The field of robotics has stretched far beyond and its emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to create smart robots. If we talk about statistics there is a requirement of 12500 robotics engineers only in the United States of America. Job prospects for robotics engineers seem to be looking up. On a much broader scale, demand for industrial robots is at an all-time high and growing. A new study by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) found that the growth in robotics in manufacturing actually is creating jobs and offering new kinds of skilled work for more people around the world. 

A thrilling area of work with high salary packages and immense demand in the job market makes a robotics engineering career an ideal career now or near future. With the advancement of computer science and related research technologies, robotics engineer jobs in India are gaining more popularity.
