If I could subscribe to your channel a million times I would, just to show you how valuable it is. As a Mechanical Engineer (Industrial Automation) Engineering student you are teaching me a lot, giving me a better insight into the industry
Thank you very much!!! 🙏 Three really isn't much in the industry that goes as deep as we do and discuss the various general topics of the industry. Keep me posted if you'd like any particular topics
i am just starting my career working as a robot operator with a mechanical engineering degree. i can program ABB and Fanuc. what is my next step to be a great Robotic Engineer. What i need to learn?
I’m about to start an entry level role it’s a mechanical position while I got to school and get a 2 year automated systems tech- mechatronics degree. Hoping to eventually get into robot and plc programming. Thanks
Core Math for Robotics Technicians: Algebra: Why: Essential for understanding and manipulating equations related to robot motion, sensor readings, and control systems. Focus on: Solving linear equations, systems of equations, and basic trigonometry. Geometry: Why: Crucial for understanding robot positioning, workspace, and collision avoidance. Focus on: Coordinate systems (Cartesian, polar), 3D geometry, and basic shapes. Trigonometry: Why: Foundation for calculating angles, distances, and robot joint movements. Focus on: Sine, cosine, tangent, and their inverses. Advanced (but Beneficial) Math: Calculus: Why: Helpful for understanding robot dynamics, motion planning, and control algorithms (though not always strictly required for technician roles). Focus on: Derivatives and integrals (basic concepts are sufficient). Linear Algebra: Why: Essential for understanding robot kinematics (how robot joints relate to end-effector position), and used in many robotics software libraries. Focus on: Vectors, matrices, and matrix operations. Tips for Learning/Brushing Up: Online Resources: Khan Academy, Coursera, edX offer excellent courses on these topics. Practice Problems: Solve numerous practice problems to solidify your understanding. Relate to Robotics: Find examples of how these math concepts are applied in real-world robotics scenarios. Focus on Practical Application: Don't get bogged down in overly complex theory; focus on the math that is directly relevant to your robotics tasks. Note: The specific math required will vary depending on the type of robotics you're involved in (e.g., industrial automation, mobile robotics, research). By focusing on these areas, you'll build a solid mathematical foundation that will be invaluable as you transition into a successful robotics technician role.
I am a BSc computer science major, can I still get into Robotics industry if I still learn by myself the mechanics and electronic part, or do I still have to get a masters in Engineering
It's awesome that you're interested in robotics with a Computer Science background! You're definitely on the right track. Here's the breakdown: Can you get into Robotics with just a BSc in Computer Science? Absolutely! Software is Key: Robotics heavily relies on software for control, perception, and AI. Your CS degree provides a strong foundation in programming, algorithms, and data structures - all essential for robotics. Growing Demand: The industry is booming, and companies are always looking for talented software engineers who can work on robotic systems. Do you need a Master's in Engineering? It Depends: Not Always Necessary: Many entry-level positions in robotics are accessible with a bachelor's degree, especially if you have strong coding skills and relevant projects. Can Provide an Edge: A Master's degree, especially in Robotics or a related field, can: Specialize: You can focus on areas like AI, control systems, or specific robot types. Advancement: Higher-level positions and research roles often prefer advanced degrees. Networking: Graduate programs provide valuable connections within the robotics community. Learning Mechanics and Electronics on Your Own: Highly Recommended: Hands-on experience is crucial! Here's how to gain it: Personal Projects: Build robots! Start with simple projects (like line-following robots or robotic arms) and gradually increase complexity. Online Courses: Platforms like Coursera, edX, and Udemy offer courses on electronics, mechatronics, and robotics. DIY Kits: Explore kits like Arduino or Raspberry Pi to learn about electronics and sensors. Open-Source Projects: Contribute to open-source robotics projects to gain real-world experience. Workshops and Hackathons: Attend local events to learn from others and network. Key Takeaways: Your CS degree is a fantastic starting point. Focus on building a strong portfolio of personal projects. Consider a Master's degree if you want to specialize or pursue advanced roles. Continuous learning is essential in the rapidly evolving field of robotics.
You're bang on the AI takeover of programming... Mechanical engineering is not replaceable... Also fyi with the current job market till one year ago everyone was jumping on to the software engineering side... The recent trend is all are moving towards Mechanical civil and industrial engineering...
Mechanical will definitely be more challenging for sure. I don't think impossible but it'll take more time. I think there is definitely a gap in all sectors of the industry. Engineers are hard to come by.
Absolutely! While a registered nurse background might not be a direct path to robotics engineering, your experience in healthcare can be a valuable asset. Your understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and the intricacies of medical procedures can provide unique insights into the design and application of medical robots.

How good are you at programming? Can you program advanced logic and complex features? Setup EIther Net, IO comms etc.
No sir. Where can i learn this? i only know basic@@EliteAutomation
Thank you! This video was extremely helpful. Please never stop uploading.
Your awesome. Thanks for commenting. We plan to keep posting. Share with Friends 😁
Hi Malachi, I was wondering what math you would recommend learning or brushing up on while transitioning into a robotics technician role. Thanks.

Hello teacher what specific application would you recommend to take for working at robotics industry thank you
Are you asking for a degree type or an example project?
Do I need to know a programming language for FANUC and ABB Robots.
yes, if you can.
@@EliteAutomation ok, can you touch more on safety measures with these robots. How to stay safe working around them.
