Wild to see Python with a larger box than C++ for *robotics*. I really wouldn’t want to be using Python in code that can physical hurt people if it goes wrong.
Worked in the industry for 20 years. Specifically in implementation and customer support. The red and pink boxes are spot on.
Older guy here. This is a great overview of what it would take to prepare yourself for this field. And if I could do it all over again, I would *strongly* consider it. While I think we have a long way to go until humanoid robots are a mass market thing, physical automation is only going to keep growing. And how cool is this field in general anyway!
Software dev working in this industry, surprised to see how many things I do and have to interact with are on this chart. Good chart
