Example of work as a Robotics and Automation Engineer

In a logistics company, a Robotics Engineer leads the development of an autonomous delivery robot.

They design the robot's structure, integrating advanced sensors like LiDAR and cameras for precise environmental perception.

Writing complex control software in languages like C++ and Python, they enable the robot to navigate, avoid obstacles, and plan optimal delivery routes.

Extensive testing and simulation refine the robot's behavior, ensuring safety and efficiency.

Real-world trials follow, with the engineer fine-tuning its performance.

Their collaboration with a multidisciplinary team brings forth a reliable and efficient autonomous delivery robot, revolutionizing last-mile logistics.
