A robot can be many different things. When I hear the word the first thing I think of would be the classical box robot all in silver with different lights and wires surrounding it or R2-D2. But really a robot can be so much more or so much less. Personally a robot to me is something that can help people do things physically faster and better. I also think a robot is anything that isn't "alive" to say yet can still operate and move around as if it is whether it be by a simple controller or by itself.
There are many jobs in robotics. One of these jobs is a robotics engineer. These people are the ones who make, maintain, develop more applications for them and conduct research to expand their potentials. This job has been rapidly increasing over the recent years with all of the advances in technology. Every time the technology is upgraded then so are the robots and what they can do. These engineers are also different within their own job. Some are considered visionary and they are the ones who design the experimental robots that can have a vast range of applications such as for medical purposes or for military purposes. Others are the people who design new models of existing robots and improving them. Then the middle men who design new experimental robots in tested fields. Robotic engineering didn't really exist before robotics but engineers did and they would have had to some other branch such as wiring, electrical etc engineering.
Another job in robotics would be the mechanical designers. These are the people that create the robots. Usually they use a computer aided design and tools to help them. Mechanical designers don't always design just robots though. They can also design things such as refrigerators.Mechanical designers also have to a good amount of knowledge on drafting and designing to help them build the robots. Before robots existed mechanical designers would as said earlier make other appliances such as refrigerators, heaters, etc..
