🏛️ Enduring ESCO reuse: cross-sector

The components that can be found in robotic systems, such as microprocessors, electronics, sensors, circuit boards, encoders, servomotors, controllers, pneumatics or hydraulics.

robotic components — the components that can be found in robotic systems, such as microprocessors, electronics, sensors, circuit boards, encoders, servomotors, controllers, pneumatics or hydraulics. McKinsey's Skill Change Index places it in the enduring band (SCI 50.05/100) — a human-connection anchor whose value is projected to hold or grow through 2030. ESCO classifies it as a cross-sector (useful across many industries) skill within knowledge. It is currently listed by 6 occupations in our catalogue, including Robotics Engineers, Robotics Technicians, automation engineer, and automation engineering technician.

Frequently asked questions

What is robotic components?

The components that can be found in robotic systems, such as microprocessors, electronics, sensors, circuit boards, encoders, servomotors, controllers, pneumatics or hydraulics.

What category of skill is robotic components?

ESCO classifies robotic components under the knowledge category, specifically in the electronics and automation subcategory.

Is robotic components an AI-durable skill?

McKinsey's Skill Change Index places it in the enduring band (SCI 50.05/100) — a human-connection anchor whose value is projected to hold or grow through 2030. This is a durable skill to invest in — high human-connection skills consistently resist automation.

Which jobs require robotic components?

In our catalogue, 6 occupations list robotic components as a required or important skill. The top occupations by employment volume include Robotics Engineers, Robotics Technicians, automation engineer, automation engineering technician, autonomous driving specialist, industrial robot controller.

How transferable is robotic components between industries?

ESCO tags robotic components as a cross-sector (useful across many industries) skill — a signal of how portable it is when you change field.

Is robotic components the same as microprocessors?

Yes — robotic components is also known as microprocessors, servomotors, encoders, range of robotic components, kinds of robotic components, circuit boards, types of robotic components, or typology of robotic components. They refer to the same underlying capability in the ESCO taxonomy.

How can I learn robotic components?

The most reliable path is to pick a job or project that demands robotic components and learn through delivery. Complement that with role-specific roadmaps and short courses. Explore the occupations below to see where this skill is used in practice.
