Robotics- the Hardest Field in Engineering

[Rabbiter]

agree or disagree

Disagree.

 

Hardest field in engineering? I'll go with Fusion as a power source.

[Danijel Gorupec]

Disagree.

 

In general, I think, hardest are commercial issues - the constant 'battle' with expenses (and your competition). You will find this in every engineering field.

I personally feel that robotics is the very beautiful field in the engineering.It is the interesting vast part of computer science and electronics branch.

[Curious!]

In my opinion it would have to be amongst the hardest fields in engineering simply because it requires the perfect integration of software engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, control engineering and systems design engineering. (ie mechatronics)

Add chemical engineering into that list and you would be making the argument for virtually any industrial chemical plant.

This. +1

 

Most people only see a bunch of pipes, and don't know the complex system behind it.

 

Hundreds, or even thousands of streams with different chemicals at different pressures and temperatures. All controlled by valves, compressors, pumps, heaters and coolers, which in turn must be integrated and controlled by actuators which are connected to computers. All integrated into a complex system of logistics that brings in raw materials and removes products from the site.

I totally accept that their are other fields of engineering which are highly multidisciplinary and that this adds complexity and difficulty to them, my point is just that I believe that robotics is one of them.
