Where a robotics engineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a robotics engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Robotics engineers design and develop robotic devices and applications in combination with mechanical engineering principles. They use pre-established designs and current developments for improving or inventing systems, machinery and equipment. They combine several knowledge fields such as computing, engineering, and electronics in the development of new engineering applications.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a robotics engineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
