Magata Bruce, the country’s top student in the 2021 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education aspires to be a robotics engineer. Let’s take a look at what the course entails:
The skills of the engineering programs in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Electrical Engineering are combined in this degree program, which builds on three decades of industry robotics competence.
A robotics engineer is a designer who works behind the scenes to create robots and robotic systems that can execute tasks that people can’t or don’t want to do. The Roomba, for example, was designed to assist humans in the tedious chore of vacuuming floors.
Robotics engineers contribute to the safer, easier, and more efficient performance of occupations through their inventions.
Robotics engineering, unlike other types of engineering, necessitates mastery of a wide range of technical disciplines – robotics engineers serve as a link between mechanics, electronics, computer science, and cognitive psychology.
Robotics engineers spend the majority of their time devising the strategies and processes required to not only create but also operate robots. Some robotics engineers are also involved in the design of the robot assembly machines.
A robotics engineer’s typical day is packed with activities. They concentrate on research, development, and testing of robots.
They must analyze and evaluate their prototypes on a regular basis for defects and the possibility of an improvement. Because technology is always changing, it’s essential to keep an eye out for upgrades.
Depending on the project they are working on, they write software to control their robotic systems and automated robotic systems.
They are also recognized as technical support for the robots they have designed in their capacity as designers. They’d have to assess and review expenditures for their designs and updates in addition to the robots aspect.
