Automation and Robotics is a branch of engineering which includes development and designing of the robot with its caring and research about robots. It also includes instruction, operating and testing, repairing, system maintenance and control techniques. Robotics engineers are employed to design robots, develop and research programs etc. They are also involved in product development and testing the robot’s component parts before creating the final design. Besides working on robots, robotics engineers are also brought in to develop and create tools, automated systems, factory equipment, and toys.
