What you mean by "robotics" ? You want to move a robotic arm so that it is fast and accurate (eg. don't break the crystal shield it is moving), that is automation. To study automation you need a lot of math, matrix and vector, complex calculus, geometry, trigonometric and transformation (Fourier Laplace) and a lot of other stuff that I do not know. You want a robot to recognize human face so it can make some particular action ? Now you should be looking into AI, computer vision and classification. You will need a lot of math, matrix and vector, calculus in more variable and a lot of stuff that I don't know. You want to control n-thousand little robot so they can cooperate to make something great ? Now you should look at parallel computation and distribute system. You will need a lot of math, matrix and vector, probably fuzzy logic. What I am try to say is that "Robotics" means pretty much nothing and everything, however if you study a lot of math and matrix and vector you are pretty much covered...
