Alumni Working in Automation and Robotics Industry Testimonials

Pavel Ulyanov foto
When I started programming industrial robots, I immediately understood what I wanted to do next
"I was constantly learning new technologies for me: from simple robotic movements to laser welding using industrial robots. I like my work:
  • for the moments when a huge massive "capricious toy" starts its work and performs it as intended;
  • for participation in projects in different countries of our planet: from the USA to China;
  • for the feeling of pride that arises from passing cars, because there is my contribution to their creation.

Robotics specialists are in high demand in the global labor market, which creates a good environment for career growth
"Robotics is used in various industries: mechanical engineering, industrial automation, science, etc. A specialist in the field of robotics is faced with solving various technical problems of a different nature and complexity, which contributes to the creative development of a person. Robotics allows the programmer of robots to put into practice their software solutions to a particular problem."

I have been working for the German company InPro Engineering for more than 10 years (formerly known as Dressler Automation)
"When meeting people, I am often asked what my job is. I always answer: a programmer. Usually this is where it ends. In rare cases, people are interested in what projects I am involved in and what exactly I am developing. And here the fun begins! After saying: I program robots, people start asking a lot of questions, most of which are: where did you learn this? How did you get into this field? Do you like it? None of this would have happened if I hadn't enrolled at the TSI. In my time, there was no study programme"Robotics" and we did not go through process automation. But thanks to the university, I was able to get an internship and immerse in a little into the world of mechanical engineering. I was stunned at the sight of a well-established mechanism for manufacturing and assembling machine parts. I wanted to do this. And never regretted it! Probably thanks to the love of computer games, I had a strong desire to control the robots. It's insanely interesting to create programs, move robots, and then watch how the robot works at full power and executes your commands! If I now chose what I would do in the future, I would not hesitate to go into the field of process automation. Nowadays, people are trying to replace human labor with machines/robots, which is sad. But as long as this happens, I will always have a job. And this process is only gaining momentum!"
