Careers after class 12: Electronics and Robotics

Industry: Engineering

What is Electronics and Robotics?

Electronics is the subfield of electrical engineering covering fields such as analog, digital, power and consumer electronics and embedded systems. Robotics is the interdisciplinary field integrating engineering and computer science involving the design, construction, operation and use of robots. The combined use of electronics and robotics enables engineers to design machines capable of assisting humans. Electronics and robotics find tremendous opportunities for application in not only automotive industries but also in the domestic, commercial, medical and military sectors.
