Tasks for “Robotics Engineers”
- Plan mobile robot paths and teach path plans to robots.
- Document robotic application development, maintenance, or changes.
- Conduct research into the feasibility, design, operation, or performance of robotic mechanisms, components, or systems, such as planetary rovers, multiple mobile robots, reconfigurable robots, or man-machine interactions.
- Investigate mechanical failures or unexpected maintenance problems.
- Provide technical support for robotic systems.
- Automate assays on laboratory robotics.
- Design automated robotic systems to increase production volume or precision in high-throughput operations, such as automated ribonucleic acid (RNA) analysis or sorting, moving, or stacking production materials.
- Debug robotics programs.
- Build, configure, and test robots.
- Design robotics applications for manufacturers of green products, such as wind turbines or solar panels, to increase production time, eliminate waste, or reduce costs.
- Review or approve designs, calculations, or cost estimates.
- Design or program robotics systems for environmental clean-up applications to minimize human exposure to toxic or hazardous materials or to improve the quality or speed of clean-up operations.
- Design end-of-arm tooling.
- Conduct research on robotic technology to create new robotic systems or system capabilities.
- Make system device lists or event timing charts.
- Write algorithms or programming code for ad hoc robotic applications.
- Design software to control robotic systems for applications, such as military defense or manufacturing.
