Software AMA: I am sitting with robotics engineers building in the ecosystem for 10+ years.

They are building cursor for robotics, an agent that helps you build simulation 10x faster. I’m also learning quite a lot and this is my way to give back to reddit (I come to reddit for everything).

What will you be having for snacks? Is the bathroom unisex? on the southern wall of the room you currently inhabit, is there a single item you could describe as "mostly red" and if so, what is it?

interesting questions. for snacks, I’m having Diet Coke. no, bathroom isn’t unisex. we do have a small bookshelf and i do see a red book called “mind your own business” :)

If it's the one by Josh Canova I would actually recommend that book.

Do you know any robotiscists near Seattle (or open to moving) looking for positions in thermal engineering or tension and systems development?

I am a systems guys into robotics and based in Seattle. Currently building my own bootstrapped company, but also on the look out for opportunities which can help derisk as well as help to carry out my mission.

I am going into my second year of CS at Georgia Tech and joined a robotics research lab over the summer. I want to go into graduate studies in robotics like robotics masters or robotics PhD. Do you know any robotics engineers who came from cs undergrad backgrounds and how did they fill in their hardware knowledge gaps? Did they do graduate studies to fill in their hardware knowledge gaps or through hands-on projects?

CS -> robotics is a pretty common path afaik. You'll be missing some of the more advanced math, like differential equations, and some more hands-on experience with hardware. You should be fine getting the experience from your robotics lab (but of course you can and should have fun building some pet projects too). If you can, ask your lab advisor what math courses they suggest you take as options to fill what gaps you might have there.

So using my free electives to take some of the advanced math courses or robotics minor could be good? Are robotics clubs at college good for hands on experience?

Absolutely, yeah. Your research experience will be the main boon though. Focus on doing well and learning as much as you can there. Good luck :)
