What do AI/Robotic Engineers Do?

Robotics engineering is a field of engineering which centers on building machines that replicate human actions. A robotics engineer creates these applications or autonomous machines (aka robots) for industries such as mining, manufacturing, automotive, services and more. Often, the goal is to program machines to do repetitive, hazardous or unhealthy jobs. A robotics engineer designs prototypes, builds and tests machines, and maintains the software that controls them. They also conduct process studies to find the most cost-efficient and safest process to support and improve any deployed robotic systems.
