Robotics
technicians assist robotics engineers in designing, testing and
maintaining robots. Robots may be used in a variety of capacities, such
as in automated production. Robotics technicians may inspect the parts
that come from the manufacturer and assemble robotic devices. Robotics
techs may also install safety systems and reprogram robotic devices to
modify their motion. Robotics technicians need to be able to understand
microprocessors, electronics and mechanics be able to effectively
troubleshoot robot malfunctions. Examples of tools and equipment
robotics technicians use include microcomputers, oscilloscopes and
hydraulic test equipment. In addition, robotics technicians need to be
able to read blueprints, electric wiring diagrams and
pneumatic/hydraulic diagrams.

interested in a robotics career, you should have a strong aptitude for
math and science and have at least a high school diploma with proven
performance in these areas. The majority of robotics technicians,
however, enter the field with an associate degree in robotics or
automated manufacturing technology. Courses in a robotics technology
program should include hydraulics, pneumatics, electronics and
blueprint reading. The Manufacturing Engineering Certification
Institute of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers provides an
opportunity for robotics techs with four years of experience to receive
professional certification.
