Features of the modern profession

Professional roboticists tend to work in specialized aviation structures, research institutes and large IT firms.

"Robot Scientist" looked into the foreseeable future and made assumptions about the professions in demand. We talk about how technology will change the labor market, which employees will remain indispensable and how educational robotics helps to grow such shots.

Traditional professions in danger

A January report by the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) titled "The Future of Work: Automation, Employment and Productivity" suggests that half of today's work will be automated by 2055.

MGI's briefing note "Technology, Labor and the Future of Work" prepared for the December Global Forum in the Vatican also heralds the rapid advance of automation. Research confirms that partial automation will have an impact on almost all jobs. Our perception will change not only about low-skilled work, but also about the professions of landscape designers, dental technicians, fashion designers, insurance and sales agents, and even large managers. About 60% of professions consist of at least a third of duties that can be automated today - this is about 1.1 billion jobs.

All more people at work will deal with technology. And if high-skilled personnel only benefit from this, low-skilled workers will have to fight for places. However, if there are too many unemployed, labor costs may become cheaper and the dynamics of general automation will decrease.

Progress, which at first glance should make human existence easier, actually threatens unemployment and lower incomes. Adding fuel to the fire is the media, which regularly reports on robot lawyers, journalists, doctors and teachers. It would seem that even the most intelligent professions are on the threshold of full automation. For example, the ASI marks the professions of a legal adviser, analyst, journalist, etc. as “obsolete”.

Already today, a McKinsey survey of employers shows that 40% of employers note the lack of education of graduates. Employers complain about the lack of knowledge of applicants in STEM (S - science (natural sciences), T - technology (technology), E - engineering (engineering), M - mathematics (mathematics)) and weak soft skills: communication, teamwork, punctuality .

“By the way, today many progressive Western companies conduct trainings, staff training and even strategic sessions using the good old LEGO constructors, and the row large companies use them in job interviews. Indeed, even elementary design skills can tell a lot about a person, his worldview, thinking style and potential,” notes Anna Chepik, head of children's center development "Miracle School Clever".

The future is in the hands of little engineers

To help children become in demand, it is necessary to involve them in science and high technology as early as possible. Fortunately, continuing education in Russia is heading towards STEM.

Olga Alekhina, managing director of the center additional education“CrashPro” says: “We see the inevitability of the process of “roboticization” of our lives. Smart appliances at home, answering machines in banks, robotic manipulators in factories. Robots are already a part of our lives, and this is just the beginning! In my opinion, new professions based on robotics will appear every year. the main task for us it is to give the guys the skills that will become the basis of any profession.”

Truly in-demand specialists will be with high technology"no misters".

“As a rule, specialists of the future are generalists who have skills from related areas. For example, to become a robot designer, you need to study robotics as a child, be able to program and understand the basics of computer science, and develop skills in working with 3D models,” continues Olga Alekhina.

There is an opinion that “techies” have difficulty mastering those very soft skills - it is difficult for them to work in a team, communicate with colleagues from other fields of activity. Can the idea of ​​versatile professionals come true? Elena Pervukhina, a child and family psychologist, argues that the image of a closed “techie” is a template that has little to do with reality. “It all depends on temperament, and this is an innate characteristic. And classes in robotics, indeed, form both programming and communication skills.”

In pursuit of a bright future, it is important not to overdo it.

“It is important not to overload the child with activities and to alternate mental activity and rest. And of course, pay attention to the child’s condition, ask his opinion, whether he is interested in a particular occupation and not follow his own ambitions - to raise a new generation, ”warns Elena Pervukhina.

Not all professions can be replaced by automation. Here is some of them:

• Entrepreneurs (businessmen). To develop entrepreneurial skills will help in robotics clubs. A systematic and project approach, the skills to which robotics classes provide, will help to better systematize knowledge and work for results in any business.
• operators/managers. In many ways, each person will become a robotics operator. Project approach and knowledge of the principles of work electronic machines can provide the child in the future as a separate profession “operator of robotic systems”.
• Engineers. With the development and cheapening of robotics, experts predict the emergence of such professions as engineers of medical, domestic and other special robots, an architect of intelligent control systems, a designer of transport systems, etc.

While technology is destroying some jobs, it is creating new ones in industries that most of us can't even imagine. Thus, a third of the new jobs created in the United States over the past 25 years were not previously existing in the areas of IT development, equipment manufacturing, application creation and IT systems management. In 2011, a study by McKinsey's Paris office found that the Internet had destroyed 500,000 jobs in France over the past 15 years, while creating 1.2 million others in the meantime.

Short description

Robotics engineer (mechatronics engineer, mobile robotics engineer, electronics engineer, service electronics engineer) - a specialist who develops the architecture and commissions robots, devices and complex robotic systems.

Robots today are used in manufacturing, research, combat, entertainment, and everyday life. Robots partially or completely replace human labor in routine work (robot vacuum cleaner) and those activities where work poses a danger to humans (testing motorcycles or exploring the surface of Mars) or requires precise and fast actions that are inaccessible to humans (production robots on a conveyor belt). Unlike humans, robots can perform hard work quickly and efficiently, do not require rest and wages. Therefore, the number of robots and specialists who create and maintain them will only grow.
Robotics engineers work in auto concerns, enterprises in the aviation and space industries, engineering companies and startups that specialize in creating robots. Teaching gives a wide range of opportunities to a robotics engineer: in schools, a new subject is already included in academic plan, and robotics circles appear in every city.

What does a robotic engineer do?

• Modeling and selection of materials for robotic systems
• Programming and debugging robots in a laboratory or production environment
• Control of equipment installation, participation in the acceptance and commissioning of equipment
• Development of a system of preventive measures for robots
• Organization of work on the repair and maintenance of robotic equipment and control of their implementation
• Control of consumption and stock availability of spare parts
• Training
• Maintaining reports and documentation

roboticist(Czech. robot, from robota- forced labor and rob- slave) - a specialist in the development of robots and their maintenance. The profession is suitable for those who are interested in physics, mathematics, drawing and computer science (see the choice of profession for interest in school subjects).

Features of the profession

Robotics(robotics) is an applied scientific branch dedicated to the creation of robots and automated technical systems. Such systems are also called robotic systems (RTS). Another name is robotics. This is the name of the process of creating robots, by analogy with mechanical engineering. Robots are especially needed where it is too hard or dangerous for a person to work, and where every action must be performed with inhuman precision. For example, a robot can take soil samples on Mars, defuse an explosive device, or precisely assemble a device.

Of course, for each type of work you need a special robot. Universal robots do not yet exist. All robotics can be divided into industrial, construction, aviation, space, underwater, military. In addition, there are assistant robots, game robots, etc.

The robot can work according to a pre-developed program or under the control of an operator. Robots with independent thinking and motivation, with their own emotional world and worldview yet too. It's for the best.

Robotics is related to mechatronics.

Mechatronics is a discipline dedicated to the creation and operation of machines and systems with program control. Mechatronics is often referred to as electromechanics and vice versa.

Mechatronics includes factory machines with program control, unmanned vehicles, modern Office equipment etc. In other words, devices and systems designed to perform a specific task. For example, the task of an office printer is to print documents.

What exactly is a robot?

As the name implies, the robot was originally presented as a kind of person. But pragmatism takes over. And most often the robot is assigned the role of a technical device, for which the appearance does not matter. of great importance. At the very least, industrial robots don't look like humans at all.

However, robots have a feature that unites them with all living beings - movement. And the way of movement sometimes quite clearly copies what is found in nature. For example, a robot can fly like a dragonfly, run along a wall like a lizard, walk on the ground like a human, etc.

(See video at the bottom of the page.)

On the other hand, some robots are specially designed for the emotional response of people. For example, robot dogs brighten up the lives of people who do not have time for a real dog. Plush "babies" relieve depression.

Not far off is the time when, among other things, household appliances we will have robots helping with the housework. Personally, I would prefer a servant in the form of a smiling plastic cocoon on wheels. But someone will probably want their majordomo robots to be like real people. Tremendous progress has already been made in this direction.

Building a robot is what it's all about roboticist. More precisely, robotics engineer. It proceeds from what tasks the robot will solve, thinks through the mechanics, electronic part, programs its actions. Such a job is not for a lone inventor, robotics engineers work as a team.

But the robot needs not only to be invented and developed. It needs to be serviced: manage work, monitor "well-being" and repair. This is also done by a roboticist, but specializing in maintenance.

Modern robotics is based on mechanics, electronics and programming. But, as science fiction writers suggest, over time, bio- and nanotechnologies will be widely used to make robots. The result is a cyborg, i.e. a cybernetic organism is something between a living person and a robot. In order not to be too happy about this, you can watch the movie "Terminator", any part of it.

The beginning of the history of robots

The word "robot" was coined by Karel Capek in 1920 and used in his play "R.U.R." ("Rossum's Universal Robots"). Later, in 1941, Isaac Asimov used the word "robotics" in the science fiction story "The Liar".

But apparently, one of the first roboticists in the history of mankind can be considered the Arab inventor Al-Jazari, who lived in the XII century. Evidence remains that he created mechanical musicians who entertained the public by playing the harp, flute, and tambourines. Leonardo da Vinci, who lived in the 15th-16th centuries, left behind drawings of a mechanical knight capable of moving his arms and legs, opening the visor of his helmet. But these outstanding inventors could hardly have imagined what heights technology would reach in a few centuries.

Training in Robotics

To become a roboticist, you need to get a higher education in the direction of "mechatronics and robotics". In particular, this area includes the specialty “robots and robotic systems”. Higher education qualifies as an engineer.

On this course, you can get the profession of a specialist in mechatronics and robotics in 3 months and 10,000 rubles.
- one of the most affordable prices in Russia;
– Diploma of professional retraining of the established sample;
– Education in a completely remote format;
— Certificate of conformity to the professional standard worth 10,000 rubles. as a gift!;
— The largest educational institution additional prof. education in Russia.

Workplace

Roboticists work in the design bureaus of aviation and astronautics. For example, in NPO them. S.A. Lavochkina. In research centers of various directions (space, medicine, oil production, etc.). In companies specializing in robotics.

Salary

Salary as of 26.08.2019

Russia 20000—70000 ₽

Important qualities

The profession of roboticist implies an interest in exact sciences and engineering, analytical mind, well-structured thinking combined with a rich imagination.

Knowledge and skills

In essence, a roboticist is a universal specialist: an engineer, a programmer, a cybernetician rolled into one. He needs knowledge of mechanics, programming, automatic control theory, design theory automatic systems. Design skills, the ability to work with your hands, for example, use a soldering iron, are very important.

Robotics as a tool in choosing an information technology profession

Keywords: robotics, robotics,mechatronics, robotics engineer,educational constructors LEGO,engineering professions.

Annotation:the abstract presents the experience of a teacher in the field of robotics on the basis of the school.Robotics - a tool for involving children in scientific and technical creativity, it is educational technology through which the foundations of systemic thinking are laid, knowledge of the natural science cycle is acquired and consolidated.The role of robotics in the choice of students of the future engineering profession is noted.

Feature our lives - an increase in the pace of change. We live in a world that is very different from the one we were born into. And the pace of change continues to accelerate. Today's schoolchildren will have to work in professions that do not yet exist in the future; use technologies that have not yet been created, solve problems; about which we can only guess. School education must comply with the goals of advanced development. To do this, the school must ensure the study of not only the achievements of the past, but also technologies that will be useful in the future, training focused on both the knowledge and activity aspects of the content of education. Robotics meets these requirements.

The purpose of this work is to acquaint the pedagogical community with the experience of working in the field of robotics on the basis of the school, to show the impact of robotics on students' choice of future profession.

Robotics has long been proven to be effective both as a tool for involving children in scientific and technical creativity, and as an educational technology, through which the foundations of systemic thinking are laid, knowledge of the natural science cycle is acquired and consolidated.

Robotics (robotics) is an applied scientific branch dedicated to the creation of robots and automated technical systems. Such systems are also called robotic systems (RTS).

Universal robots do not yet exist. All robotics can be divided into industrial, construction, aviation, space, underwater, military. In addition, there are robots - assistants, robots for games and more.
The robot can work according to a pre-developed program or under the control of an operator. There are no robots with independent thinking and motivation, with their own emotional world and worldview.

Robotics is related to mechatronics.
Mechatronicsis a discipline dedicated to the creation and operation of machines and systems with program control. Mechatronics is often referred to as electromechanics and vice versa.

But, as science fiction writers suggest, over time, bio- and nanotechnologies will be widely used to make robots. The result is a cyborg, that is, a cybernetic organism - something between a living person and a robot.

The topic of robots is very interesting for both students lower grades as well as high school students. On TV, programs and films about robots are often shown, in which they help people in life and can even do some difficult work instead of a person. In life, we often encounter robots. For example, at home, many people have radio-controlled toys, everyone has cell phones, computers, TVs, vacuum cleaners, and more. All this robotics helps and makes our life easier in many ways. At school, robotics classes are held outside school hours. Schoolchildren learn to assemble robots according to instructions, create programs for the robot to work, learn the basics of programming, learn to work in pairs, develop communication, meta-subject and algorithmic skills.Educational LEGO sets are a new "toy" that meets the requirements of the modern child. In the process of playing and learning, students collect toys with their own hands, which are objects, mechanisms from the world around them. Thus, the guys get acquainted with technology, discover the secrets of mechanics, develop the appropriate skills, learn to work, in other words, get the basis for future knowledge, develop the ability to find the best solution, which will undoubtedly be useful to them in their future lives.

ATschools do not train engineers, technologists and other specialists, respectively, robotics at school is a rather conditional discipline that can be based on the use of elements of technology or robotics. But every year the requirements for modern engineers, technicians and ordinary users are increasing, in terms of their ability to interact with automated systems. The intensive introduction of artificial assistants into our everyday life requires users to have modern knowledge in the field of robot control.

The use of Lego-constructors in extracurricular activities increases students' motivation for learning, as it requires knowledge from almost all academic disciplines from art and history to mathematics and natural sciences. Schoolchildren successfully participate in regional olympiads and competitions in robotics " Tank biathlon”, “Small Olympic Games”, “URKOP”, as well as in scientific and practical conferences and seminars.

Education today – it's not only knowledge system to pass on to the next generation, but most importantlymeans of creating a successful futurefor all mankind. ATthe future will be a high-tech world with huge amount various gadgets and robotic assistants , therefore, it is so important to form an interest in the younger generation in such subjects as mathematics, physics, computer science, and also to orient children from a very young age towards choosing an engineering profession. Robotics is the way to go in choosing an information technology profession.
