How to Present Robotics Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Robotics is changing the world—from smart factories and autonomous vehicles to healthcare assistants and drone deliveries. But no matter how advanced the system is, a robotics solution won’t be adopted unless it’s clearly understood by those who make decisions: business leaders, clients, investors, and end-users. That’s why employers in the UK robotics industry are now actively seeking candidates who can communicate clearly and confidently with non-technical audiences. Whether you’re a recent graduate, a mechanical engineer, a software specialist or an automation consultant, your ability to explain how your robots work—and why they matter—could be the difference between getting shortlisted and getting hired. This guide shows you how to structure your robotics presentation, design effective slides, use storytelling and analogies, and answer common stakeholder questions—so you can stand out in interviews and beyond.
