Atlas of new professions and competencies

Robotics technician

Profession will appear after 2030-2035

Trends

Growing demand for digitalization of construction industry Reducing the number of employees in the construction industry The approaching change of generations of specialists is a growing challenge for the construction industry.

Construction

Robotics technicians perform the initial robot installation and subsequent maintenance and repair. After completing the training in computer programming, they can perform low-level programming and reprogramming of robots. Job Novelty: Acting as a liaison between robotics engineers and machine purchasers. They assist process engineers, mechanical engineers and electronic engineers at all stages of design, development, production, testing and operation of robots.

Key competencies: Secondary vocational education in the field of robotics.

Knowledge in the following areas:

microprocessors, hydraulics, pneumatics, electronics, programmable controllers, circuit analysis, mechanics, sensor systems / feedback systems.
Knowledge of CAD / CAM systems (computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacturing systems).

Over-professional skills

This area includes a variety of skills related to the development and adjustment of artificial intelligence systems, the adjustment and tuning of robots, the development of programs for controlling production processes and individual machines.

Automation and robotization rapidly penetrate into all areas, including manufacturing. It is expected that in 15-20 years, machines will replace a person in most routine operations that do not require creative skills. Therefore, the need for specialists with these skills will grow in all sectors. It is these specialists who will have to ensure the massive arrival of machines in all sectors of the economy.

Automation of production will eliminate the human factor and increase labor productivity where routine operations are present that do not require special training and creative skills. Specialists will be in demand not in the main production, but in the field of servicing and tuning machines, robots and systems that make algorithmic decisions.
