Robots are neat. I wonder, does anyone have a suggestion about how a proper self-taught "curriculum" would look like?

- ivankirigin 19y agoJust learn how to build big software systems. This might be as simple as a usb camera in a linux box with a serial port connection to some motor controller. That is actually really complicated, but all the components are pretty cheap. If you can get a wifi streaming webcam with tele-operated control, you have the basic components of a PackBot. It's not rugged, or self balancing with arms, but it's there. One mistake aspiring roboticists make is thinking that robotics is something different. Actually it's just a lot of mechanical, software, electrical, and systems engineers working together. Autonomy algorithms for robotics are certainly domain specific, but the skills needs have broad application - meaning most coders have them.
- sown 19y agoI see. I think I will take your advice about a simple system, though. It's that Anybot's <a href="http://anybots.com/join.html http://anybots.com/join.html">career</a> page seems to imply that I should have built something. :)
