Robotic Engineering.
Designs and develops robotic prototypes. Constructs, configures, tests, and
debugs robots and robotic systems. Installs, operates, calibrates, and maintains
robots. Ensures that robotic machines operate safely, dependably, and with
precision; identifies and implements modifications.
Most robotics engineers go to work in offices, manufacturing plants, or
laboratories. Manufacturing plants may be noisy, depending on the industry. They
may also work on a factory floor where they monitor or solve on-site problems.
Many robotics engineers work a standard 40-hour week.
It is very general and has many specializations. It includes many fields such as
electrical engineering, computer systems engineering(AI), medical robotics(etc).
It offers many opportunities and jobs for your preferences.
