Robotics engineers are engineering technologists who apply principles from mechanical, manufacturing and electrical engineering to design and test robots, automated systems and new applications.
Robot manufacturers and users often have proprietary systems and designs that require a graduate robotics engineer to learn the specifics of the systems. The graduate robotics engineer will learn about these systems and, over time, may begin to design systems for their employer based on that technology. The field is evolving, and continuing education is available through organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
