ROBOTICS

Robotics engineering is a field that deals with designing, structuring, building and application of robots and the use of computer for their processing and manipulation. Robots play an important role in Industries. They speed up the manufacturing process and hence usually help increase the output. Robots also find their application in the field of sea exploration, nuclear science, servicing of transmission electric signals, designing of bio-medical equipments, etc. Skills like computer integrated manufacturing, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, software engineering, and biological mechanics are needed to work in the field of robotics. With the advancement of computer science and related research technologies, Robotics jobs in India are gaining more popularity.

Computer intelligence forms the basics of Robotics. These robots carry out jobs that are considered dangerous and sometimes impossible for a human being. Because of its unmatched efficiency and with no chance of lapse in concentration, the uses of robots has become essential and irreplaceable. These days not only the students, professors, professionals but the normal person also thinks and knows about the future aspect of the robotics. The scope of robots is found in every industry not only in India but also in various countries.Recently a movie on Robot from the South Film Industry has created huge records in the Indian Film History. Many movies came up in Hollywood taking the robots as the base point but a film on robots from the Indian Movie has shown up a huge scope for the students to decide or think about Robotics career in future, as there may be much future on Robotics.

Now various questions regarding the future of robotics like how close we are towards the robotics career, designing and preparing of robots arises in each and everyone's mind. These robots will be involved in various aspects of our life, and would be involved in various industries and factories. Robotics engineering is the division of engineering science and technology of robots. It includes the manufacture, functions, design and structural disposition of robots. Robotics engineering is a sub-field of mechanical engineering.

Robotics engineers usually design robots and develop new applications for them to make them functional in a broad range of industries. Robots are used in industries for speeding up the manufacturing process. A qualified robotics engineer can apply his mastery in varied fields such as nano-technology, surgery, modern warfare and space-exploration. In present world robots are replacing humans where conditions are hazardous, tedious and manipulative in industrial units, space ships, atomic plants, mines and deep-sea vessels. The computerization of work through robotics has greatly increased productivity.




Robotics field is the dynamic field which involves the designing, maintenance, functional, programming(software and hardware) and etc, which will be rather useful in various fields like medical, army, transportation, manufactioring, production and many more. By considering all these aspects there are multiple career options available in the field of robotics.Technical people like in the fields of mechanical, electrical, medical,etc are involved in designing or making of Robots.

Scope of Robotics Career in India: A student may be doing his graduation in which so many opt for the BE/B.Tech Engineering which will be a career involving 4 years study on various subjects of various fields. To know much about the Inspiring Career in a particular field one has to do the specialization course in that particular Career or Field.

Robotics engineering is one of the recognized professional careers in India. There are ample opportunities in this field for robotics engineers both in India as well as in foreign countries. From manufacturing line robots to experimental robotics for the military, medical and automotive industries, the future of robotics engineering certainly offers a variety of opportunities for professionals entering the field. A candidate having an M.E. degree in robotics can find employment opportunities in space research, organizations such as ISRO and also in industries which manufacture microchips



Robotics is an inter-disciplinary course in India. Students who have graduated in electrical engineering, computer engineering, instrumentation engineering, or mechanical engineering, with an interest in robotics and artificial intelligence can take this up as a subject. For jobs in robotics the above mentioned qualification is a prerequisite.
