Robotics engineering is the specific field of engineering that centers on making machines, which replicate human actions. It also specializes in the development, design, and implementation of robotic systems and technologies. This type of engineering falls under mechanical, computer, and electrical engineering. It also includes building engineering, designing robots, and also a practical design role in the research field. The main work of a robotic engineer is to create applications or autonomous machines (robots) for companies including manufacturing, mining, automotive services, and many more.

The main responsibility of a robotics engineer is to develop robotic applications across several industries such as defence, automotive, manufacturing aerospace, and many more. Several robotics engineers work on-site at manufacturing plants supervising robots because they operate on assembly lines.

Robotics engineers are also involved in the whole lifecycle of robotic systems from design and conceptualization for testing, programming, and deployment. They can also work on a wide range of applications such as medical robotics, consumer electronics, industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, and many more. The contribution of robotics engineers to innovations which have the potential for improving daily life, transforming industries, and driving the future of automation and intelligent systems.
