Robotics Engineering is now a flourishing field of The degree
required to work in the field of robotics is in Mechanical
Engineering, but what is Mechanical Engineering? Mechanical
Engineering is an engineering discipline that uses the
application of principles from physics and materials science.
Mechanical engineering involves the analysis, design,
manufacturing, and maintenance of various systems.
Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest

engineering disciplines. The field requires a solid understanding
of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics,
thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and
energy.
Mechanical Engineers use the core principles as well as
other knowledge in the field to design and analyze
manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery,
heating and cooling systems, motor vehicles, aircraft,
watercraft, robotics, medical devices and more. In order to be a
mechanical engineer you need at least a bachelor’s degree in
Mechanical Engineering, on your way you will take courses that

field Robotics Engineering. The most important of these courses
to a Robotics engineer would be mechatronics and which is the
combination of different types systems, such as mechanical,
electronically, computer, and sensory systems all working
together to accomplish a single goal, such as a robots computer
reads its sensory systems to control the mechanics and achieve
a goal that an engineer has programmed in.
A major question that may come up when entering this
field is what exactly is defined as a robot? A robot is usually an
electro-mechanical machine that is guided by computer or
electronic programming, and is thus able to do tasks on its own.
Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or
movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or
agency of its own. A robot can be as simple as a single job

machine that works automatically on an assemble line or as
nee
complex as the ASIMO humanoid robot. There are two major
types of humanoid robots the physically anthropomorphic, manlike, which can be as simple as a player piano, and mentally
anthropomorphic, which is considered artificial intelligence.
Robotics Engineers have made robots for just about any
situation that people do not want to do or to aid with a task,
such as the Predator, Unmanned

ahead of ground troops to search for hostiles, this is currently in
use in the Middle-East by the United States military.
No matter what field of work you are planning to enter a
question that will come is how much can you make in a field and
the outlook of jobs in the future. According to the Occupational
Outlook Handbook the employment of mechanical engineers is
around 227,000 with a growth of about four percent over the next
decade, slower than average of all occupations. A mechanical
engineer will make around $69,850 per year.
