The growing field of robotics is ripe for career opportunities, so when you learn robotics, you're on the cutting edge of a broadly expanding discipline. You can study for a career developing and building the robots themselves, or you can help write the software that powers the robots and directs them on how to perform their tasks. You may work with the robots that are exploring outer space, or you may help explore the deepest parts of the ocean using robotics. There are career opportunities in research as well, where you could have a hand bringing the next generation of robotic technology to life.
