Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of computer science and engineering. Robotics involves the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal of robotics is to design machines that can help and assist humans.ย
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the mechanical engineering field, which includes robotics engineers, was projected to experience an average 4 percent employment growth from 2018 to 2028. A factor of this increase is the growing demand for the machines these professionals design as well as the emergence of new technologies.
