Discover 9 opportunities in robotics

Global demand for robotics is on the rise and is expected to grow in coming years, especially in the manufacturing industry. Canada, in particular, is leading North America's demand for robots, with foreign investors coming in due to the country's great regulatory environment for testing and development. The country is now home to many of the leading companies, institutes, and researchers in the development of robotic AI. With the current developments in the robotics industry, robotics engineering jobs in Canada are in greater demand than ever.

What are the best gifts for robotics engineers? The obvious answer is some kind of robot. But it’s not as easy as that. Most robots and robotic kits are toys aimed at children. Even though most engineers are just big kids who still enjoy playing with toys, you don’t want something that’s too basic. That would just be too boring. That’s why we’ve done our research here at NewEngineer to come up with a list of the top ten best gifts for robot engineers. You can rest assured that every item on this list will put a smile on the face of any robotics engineer.

The robotics sector is one of the most promising and fastest-growing segments of the economy today, boosted by the rise of Industry 4.0. This growth has paved the way for various employment and promotion opportunities among robotics engineers and professionals around the world, particularly in the US, South Korea, Germany, China, and Singapore. 

Mechatronics is an emerging field of engineering. It focuses on the unification of subjects like mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to create complicated machines that use multiple technologies. Movable prosthesis, robots programmed for specific tasks, and many other incredible developments are now possible. These are just some examples of practical uses for mechatronics in modern life thanks to technological advances in robotics and artificial intelligence.

As with any highly technical field, it is extremely important to stay up to date with all advances in your specific area of expertise. The conferences listed below are made up of 5 main categories, namely, materials science, finite element analysis, additive manufacturing, traditional manufacturing, and robotics. This is by no means a complete list; however, it aims to be relevant to most, if not all branches of mechanical engineering.

Current or future engineers; are you in your final years of college and wondering what’s next? Have you wondered how or if your career will change over the course of the next 30 years? These seem to be very good questions considering what engineering jobs were 30 years ago compared to what they are now.
