Hello Rohan,

Yes both Robotics and Automation are very good field but u have to be adaptive and headstrong at the same time for the desired results.here are some basic difference between Robotics and Automation.

Automation — Automation means using computer software, machines or other technology to carry out a task which would otherwise be done by a human worker. There are many types of automation, ranging from the fully mechanical to the fully virtual, and from the very simple to the mind-blowingly complex.

Robotics — Robotics is a branch of engineering which incorporates multiple disciplines to design, build, program and use robotic machines.

Advantages of being a Robotics/Automation Engineer:

A highly paid and respectable job.

Both the government and the private sector give a lot of benefits to retain their skilled workforce.

Most Robotics/Automation engineers are employed in laboratories, space exploration, manufacturing plants, mining and organizations.

Disadvantages of being a Robotics/Automation Engineer:

Though highly paid, the work is very demanding but there are limited opportunities.

The job requires long hours of work.

Good luck.
