Robotics & Industry 4.0 Engineer

  • Nantes
  • Professional Field

Modern industry is constantly facing new challenges: increasingly fluctuating demand leading to modular and reconfigurable factories; the robotization of workshops that are not designed to operate in closed, fully automated environments (unlike traditional automated assembly lines); and the growing interest in assistive robotics that supports human operators in their daily tasks. These new uses create a clear need to rethink human–robot interaction.

To navigate this broad field and support its rapid transformations, strong skills in robotics, operations research and Artificial Intelligence are essential.

Sectors of activity: automotive, aeronautics, agri-food, textile, and more.

Careers prepared for: robotics engineer, systems integration engineer, computer vision and data processing engineer, and more.

Industry partners and references: Renault, BA Systèmes.
