Yeah and industrial robots are generally pretty easy compared to other parts of automation. They are pretty much turnkey and have a bunch of options for integration. That's not to say that they don't take any skill, but if you're doing material handling or welding or something you can often just buy the entire package from <robot company> and apply power and it works. It does all of the advanced kinematics math for you; you will be better at robots if you understand the math but it isn't a requirement and the vast majority of people programming, maintaining, and working alongside them don't know the math behind it.

It always bums me out when people just want to look at a pretty robot drawing a line or picking up a heavy thing and ignore much more complex and difficult parts of factory automation.
