“Robotics Engineering” is one of the most in-demand engineering courses in India as well as at the global level, since the entire world is progressing towards automation. A Robotics Engineers responsibility mainly involves designing, developing, applying, and operating robots and robotic systems.
Robots are machines that can perform almost all the work done by humans in addition to this robots can also be employed to execute the duties that humans are either unable to perform. For example, robots are employed in mines to perform work that is hazardous to people, in defusing bombs, etc. Also, in the pandemic of COVID-19, robots have been used for taking care of the infected patients by delivering the medicines and other necessary stuff.
