6. Responsibilities of Robotics Engineer A robotics engineer is a professional who designs, builds, and maintains robotic systems. Their job involves a combination of engineering principles, computer science, and mechanical design to create robots that can perform specific tasks autonomously or with human assistance. Here's a breakdown of typical responsibilities and qualifications for a robotics engineer: Responsibilities: Design and Development : Create blueprints and schematics for robotic systems, considering factors like mechanical structure, control systems, sensors, and actuators. Programming : Write code to control the behavior of robots, including algorithms for navigation, manipulation, perception, and decision-making. Prototyping : Build prototypes or oversee the construction of prototypes to test the functionality and performance of robotic systems. Testing and Evaluation : Conduct tests to assess the performance, reliability, and safety of robots, and make improvements based on test results. Integration : Integrate robotic systems with other hardware and software components, such as sensors, cameras, computers, and networks. Maintenance and Repair : Troubleshoot problems with robotic systems and perform maintenance and repairs to ensure optimal performance. Documentation : Keep detailed records of design specifications, test results, and maintenance activities. Collaboration : Work closely with other engineers, scientists, and technicians to collaborate on multidisciplinary projects. Research : Stay up-to-date with advancements in robotics technology and research new methods and techniques to improve robotic systems. Project Management : Manage projects from conception to completion, including budgeting, scheduling, and resource allocation. 6

7. Different job roles as Robotics Engineer 30 Robotics Programmer : Who is responsible for designing, building and implementing the automated business processes using robotic technology. Also responsible for monitoring the production of a robot. Robotics System Engineer : Who use Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing to design and develop the robotic system. Also responsible for making sure that the system is safe and economical. Robot Design Engineer : Who use the designing software and tools to design the different aspects of a robotic system. Also responsible for designing the specifications of the system as per the business process and requirements. Automated Product Design Engineer : Who designs the automated product and manufactures them as per the use cases. Also responsible to design cost-effective automation systems . Robotics Test Engineer: Main responsibilities of a Robotics Test Engineer are to make sure that the designed robotic system is safe for use by the customers and is working as per the designed specifications. Responsible for testing the designed and developed automation system. 8/23/2024

8. Laws of Robotics Laws of Robotics are set of fictional rules devised by Isaac Asimov First Law- A Robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow human being to come to harm. This law emphasises the protection of human life and safety above all. Second Law- A Robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict the first law. This Law ensures that robots have humanity and follow human instructions with ethical considerations. Third Law- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with first or second law. The third law permits robot to act in self-preservation but doing so must not violate First or Second Law. 8/23/2024 8

9. Automation Automation is the creation and application of technologies to produce and deliver goods and services with minimal human intervention. The implementation of automation technologies, techniques and processes improve the efficiency, reliability, and/or speed of many tasks that were previously performed by humans. Automation is being used in a number of areas such as manufacturing, transport, utilities, defense, facilities, operations and lately, information technology. 9
