Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technical job that designs and registers the movements of industrial robots to achieve automation of production lines.
Description
Industrial robot teaching engineers use teaching pendants or offline programming software to set robot motion trajectories, speeds, and input/output timings. They perform test runs and adjustments on-site, optimizing programs to meet safety standards and process requirements. They also collaborate with mechanical and electrical design personnel and quality control departments to handle program modifications during line layout changes and troubleshooting. They conduct pre-verification and debugging through simulation, as well as regular maintenance and updates, supporting productivity improvements and stable operation.
Future Outlook
As a measure against labor shortages due to declining birthrates and aging population, the introduction of industrial robots is advancing, and demand for teaching engineers is increasing. With the development of automation technologies integrated with IoT and AI, the market value of personnel with advanced programming skills and system design capabilities is rising.
