Hi Aniyah,
Interesting question, I like.
A robotics engineer is a behind the scenes designer, who design and create robots and robotics systems that are able to perform duties that humans are either unable or prefer not to complete. Through their creations, a robotics engineers helps to make jobs safer, easier, and more efficient, particularly in the industry.
Robotics engineers spend majority of time to design and plan to build the robots, they also design the processes for the robot to run correctly. Sometime they also responsible to assemble the robots. Here are the typical Robotics Engineer's day to day works :
Designing, planning the robotic systems
Building, configuring and testing the robots
Developing the process and design the software systems to control their robotics systems
Developing the automated robotics system process
Analyzing and evaluating the prototypes and robotics systems they have created
Supporting and improving the existing robotics systems
Perform the research into design, operation and performance of robotics mechanism components or systems.
Hope this will help you.
Happy Learning!
Thank you!

Hi Aniyah,
In addition to Dinesh's great answer, I'd also add that when you think of Robotics - it doesn't necessarily have to be physical robots. We think of software robots as part of Robotics also.
As an example, if you were to call your bank and you get a machine asking you to describe what you want to do today and asked you to describe your need in a short sentence - in the background, there is software that will process that sound input and break it down into multiple parts, it will then process that through some logic/algorithm to decide on the next best step. This may be asking for confirmation ('did you say you wanted to ...'), asking for more information ('which account did you ....'), asking for clarification ('did you say deposit or dispose of?') etc etc. Again based on each input the software makes decisions on the next best action.
Essentially anything which helps automate what has until now/historically needed a human interaction (physical or software) is within a much larger Robotics field.
It is a truly exciting space of engineering and businesses and engineers are innovating at incredible rates.
If you love software - Robotics is a great space with so many options for following what excites you and building an amazing career.
