School of Engineering Robotics and Automation Engineering
Q: What do students learn in “Robotics and Automation Engineering” at Sister Nivedita University?
Ans: The robotics is a combined branch of engineering and science which deals with the study of development, operation, and control of intelligent robots. They can have both hardware and software-oriented training. There would be provision for hands on experience in working with industrial manipulator, mobile robot, and a humanoid would
Robotics engineering is a combination of computer science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. The robotics technology is used for the development of machines which can perform a complex human task in a very efficient way.
Q:What do you mean by Automation?
Ans: Industrial automation or Automation is the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and machinery in an industry to replace a living being in such operations. It is the second step beyond mechanization in Industrial work.
Q:What is robotics engineering?
Ans:Robotics engineering is a field of study which focuses on the process of building machines that replicate human actions. A robotics engineer creates the autonomous machine for industries such as mining, manufacturing, automotive, defence services and more.
Q: What is the scope of Robotics and Automation Engineering?
Ans:
• Robotics and Automation Engineering is an interdisciplinary subject and hence students could study and can work in various disciplines. It combines Computer Science, Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation and Electronics engineering.
• It is a new stream and as many companies are hiring different people for different specializations, a graduate in this field is good for multi-tasking, in addition, as an emerging field, the chances of research and evolution leading to newer inventions and hence opportunities are much more.
•In the forseeable future, all disciplines would rely on robotics from medical to military, from entertainment to education, thus creating a huge career prospects from research to technical work in this field.
• Most of the modern industries have automated manufacturing systems, from small scale to a very large industries.
Q: Name of the fields where the robots can be used.
Ans: Now-a-days, the robots can be used to most of the areas to provide efficient work with the highest precision and in less time. So, there are many fields where robots can be used in day to day as well like military area, industrial area, agricultural area, domestic area, medical areas, and in research.
Q: What are the job roles of a robotics and automation engineer?
Ans:Robotics engineers can research, develop, design, and build mechanical devices, robotics systems, and applications that are implemented to perform a variety of tasks in industries such as manufacturing, mining etc. They can program and develop software which can be used to operate them. They use artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts to make it intelligent and autonomous.
