Robotics
A robot is formally defined in the International Standard of Organization (ISO) as a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools or specialized devices through variable programmed motions for the performance of avariety of tasks. While today the major users of robots are the automobile giants, robots are also finding increasing applications in medical surgeries, mining and space explorations, and even at homes to take care of elderly people.
Components of Robots
- Structure
- Power source
- Actuation
- Manipulation
- Locomotion
- Rolling robots
- Walking robots
- Other methods of locomotion
- Environmental interaction and navigation
- Human interaction
Future of Robotics
Ever consider the Future of Robotics? What will it really be like? Did Science Fiction get it right, if not how close were they? Will robots be everywhere and involved in every aspect of life? Will robots eventually take over all the modern Factories; will robots be making robots too? Which sectors will we see robots excel in? Will we see more?
- Robots in Commerce – Retail, Services, Fields,
- Robots in the home – Maids, Washing Car, Doing Chores, Mowing the Lawn,

Scope in India
A candidate having an M.E. degree in Robotics can get job opportunities in space research organizations like ISRO and also in industries which manufacture microchips. Job opportunities also exist in Indian Institute of Technology for doing extensive research work in artificial intelligence. Furthermore, The Indian Institute of Chemical Biology offers openings research fellowships in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
Scope Abroad
A Robotics Engineer can get employment opportunities abroad to program, troubleshoot and maintain robots in companies like Plastech in USA . Research fellowships as an intern with ATR, the premier research institute emphasizing on humanoid robotics and computational neuroscience are also available. Companies like Intel recruit robotics and artificial intelligence specialists for microchip manufacturing. The Robotics Industrial Association in North America provides job opportunities in robot manufacturing and maintenance systems integration. NASA is the ultimate job destination for those interested in applying robotics to space science.
