COMPARISON OF ROBOTIC ENGINEERING SKILLS BETWEEN PAST STUDIES AND MALAYSIAN STANDARD CLASSIFICATION OF OCCUPATION (MASCO): SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Diverse kinds of economic advancements have been made to keep up with the times and to make sure the nation does not fall behind in the 4.0 industrial revolution. Among the changes that can be seen today are the use of robots and digitalisation in the industrial sector. The increase in the use of robots in the industrial sector has an impact on the socio-economic of the country especially in the field of employment. Therefore, in order to guarantee that workers can effectively operate these robotic systems, job requirements in the robotics industry demand a competent and highly skilled skill set. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify elements of robotic skills around the world and compare the findings with MASCO robotics engineering skills. Three databases—Scopus, WoS, and Google Scholar—were utilised in the study as search engines for previously published papers and journal studies. The research's findings revealed that there is a gap of robotic skill elements between past research finding and MASCO's robotics skills. Previous research has identified seven robotic skills: communication, teamwork, creative, documentation, problem solving, patience and persistence, and analytical thinking and innovation skill. Nevertheless, only one components of the skills which is problem solving was highlighted by MASCO's engineering capabilities.
