Ask HN: How to Learn Robotics?
Hi everyone! Lately I've been interested in robotics (coming from an extensive programming background) and was wondering how I should go about learning it/related fields? I'm assuming that much of this will be project-based learning so it would be nice if there are some affordable/cool projects that teach the basics.
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
Thank you!

- cbracketdash 2y agoAwesome, thank you for the resources!
- brudgers 2y agoLearning by doing is the simplest thing that might work. Doing is the way to start doing. Doing things wrong is the way doing usually starts. If you are exceptionally lucky, doing very very badly will be where it starts. Irregardless, where and how you start matters not relative to just starting. To put it another way, it is not rude to suck at robotics. Good luck.

Also https://www.theconstruct.ai/ https://www.theconstruct.ai/ is a place designed for people who want to learn robotics (based on ROS). https://www.youtube.com/@mikelikesrobots https://www.youtube.com/@mikelikesrobots also has some nice beginner videos.
