Acoustical Engineering
Acoustical Engineering

What Is the Job Demand for Acoustical Engineering? Acoustical engineers are in demand, mostly in the environmental sector, and over the next 5 years considerable growth is expected. Some figures project an increased demand for Acoustical Engineers at around 10% - higher than standard engineering jobs.

Automotive Engineering

A robotics engineer is a behind-the-scenes designer, who is responsible for creating robots and robotic systems that are able to perform duties that humans are either unable or prefer not to complete. Through their creations, a robotics engineer helps to make jobs safer, easier, and more efficient, particularly in the manufacturing industry.

Chemical robot The aim of the project CHOBOTIX is to develop chemical processing systems based on the principle of swarm robotics. The inspiration for swarm robotics comes from the behaviour of collective organisms – such as bees or ants – that can perform complex tasks by the combined actions of a large number of relatively simple, identical agents.

da Vinci Surgical System

The da Vinci System is powered by robotic technology that allows the surgeon’s hand movements to be translated into smaller, precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body. One of the instruments is a laparoscope – a thin tube with a tiny camera and light at the end.

Doraemon
Doraemon

Doraemon: Robot War (小叮噹大戰機器人, Xiǎo dīngdāng dàzhàn jīqìrén) is a 1983 Taiwanese bootleg movie based on the original Doraemon series. Much like the 1973 anime, there is little to no information on this film at all as it has sold poorly in theaters in February 12, 1983 and was not released on home video.

But of course robots wouldn't exist without electronics. It's all very well being a whiz kid at programming, but if the robot doesn't have decent electronics it's not going to work. It's best to think of a robot and its fields of engineering as a human body.

GERTY (Moon)
GERTY (Moon)

Gerty, a character in Duncan Jones' "Moon." I would like to comment on Duncan Jones' movie "Moon" and compare some elements of "Moon" to earlier science fiction. "Moon" is a good piece of science fiction. The only thing, in my opinion, that holds it back from being a great movie are a couple of rough edges in an otherwise outstanding script. The problem is that a movie with this kind of puzzle premise needs perfect writing.
