Almost 4 years ago—on 19th January, 2016—the World Economic Forum (WEF) published a list of 10 core skills that one must possess to excel in the fourth industrial revolution. When this list was released, 2020 was certainly in the “future”, but now that we’re here in 2020 it’s time to get real with those robotics skills. Businesses in many industries including automotive, electronics, metal, chemical, plastic, and food are widening their operation by embracing robots.
To thrive and stay ahead of competition in your industry, you need to strengthen your robotics skills, besides soft skills. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the 3 most essential robotics skills that you need, to be successful in 2020!
Python Programming
Python programming seems to be all the rage in 2020. This programming language has gained significant popularity in the recent years and has become a commanding tech skill for the next 10 years.
Udemy Workplace Learning Trends recently reported that Python tops the list of skills that people are looking forward to learning in 2020. If you use software development tools, you can use Python, or any other programming language to provide your robot with coded instructions.
The Basics of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
According to a 2015 survey report conducted by the World Economic Forum, people are expecting AI to be a part of a business’s Board of Directors (BOD) by the year 2026. If you’re already using robots in your business, you don’t need to invest in a new AI incorporated workflow to reap the benefits. You can reprogram your existing robots accordingly and eliminate the need to manually perform repetitive tasks to enhance your business productivity.
Critical Thinking
The third most important skill that complements robotics is critical thinking. WEF has declared critical thinking as one of the foundation skills that every engineer must possess to succeed in the future. While robots are taking up on almost all the tasks, they can’t beat humans on critical thinking and analytical skills. So, besides being relevant to robotics, this skill is essential to flourish any business.
