The Department of Robotics and Automation Engineering

About the Department

The Graduates in Robotics and Automation Engineering will have career opportunities in manufacturing, research and engineering, agriculture, mining, space exploration, power plant maintenance, manufacturing plants, mining and organizations and a variety of other areas. These are some technologies which will replace humans and human activities in coming years.

Robots can take any form but many of them have given the human appearance. The robots which have taken the form of human appearance may likely to have the walk like humans, speech, cognition and most importantly all the things a human can do. Most of the robots of today are inspired by nature and are known as bio-inspired robots.

Robotics an Automation Engineering opens wide range of job opportunities in research, manufacturing, mining, maintenance of nuclear power plants, industries, electronic industries and other different areas.
