if you are good at Math (Calculus, Linear Algebra, Statistics), know C++ and Python, and know basics of computer vision and ML, then you can enroll in the following advanced nano-degrees: 1-self-driving car engineer: imp.i115008.net/5RE9o or 2- Become a Robotics Software Engineer: imp.i115008.net/KVmnz Stay tuned for Part 2 of the video where I would review the advanced nano-degree on self-driving cars
Thank goodness for this fast track. I'm really eager to get back into engineering, but the other software video had so many steps. Do you absolutely recommend the courses in that order: Intro to Self-Driving then the Robotics software course? If we have the prereq for the Robotics Software course, then why take the intro to self-driving first? Is it to be familiar with putting the principles together?
@@eliyahudejourayev5547: the first one is an advanced nano-degree to becoming a self-driving car engineer, the 2nd one is another nano-degree program to becoming a robotics software engineer. The first one is target for people who want to join autonomous car industry and teaches you the skills needed, while the 2nd one is more generic and covers a broader skills such as SLAM that is used in almost all mobile robots such as humanoids, vacuum robots, ...
@@AniWho268: 1- Those roadmaps are comprehensive which means you do not have to learn all skills to start your career. 2- if you have the pre-req, then you do not need to enroll in the intro one, directly go to the advanced one
Wow, this is amazing, exactly what I was looking for! I have a BS in Computer Science and I am currently working on a Masters in Computer Science. Despite having a BS in Computer Science, I will definitely start off with the Intro to Self Driving Cars Nanodegree when I have time to do so. I am married and don't have kids yet. I think where I am definitely having a hard time choosing is whether or not to pursue the Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree after doing the Intro to Self Driving Car Engineer nanodegree or go for the Robotics Software Engineering Nanodegree problem. I do have high levels of interests in both programs. Thank you so much for this review. I have been searching for a review like this online for a long time.
An excellent breakdown and guide for anyone who's currently stuck with the questions : How do I go about transitioning? Are these courses for me? etc. I wish I was able to see this video in the past because it goes through the steps and you will basically be seeing these pages if you decide to start the udacity program. I am in the process of completing it and despite it being a specialization, it has taught me a lot anyway in using the software, learning the language and some of the math concepts are very universal (can be applied to a lot of different industries and help make you a critical thinker). Thanks for consistently making informative videos on this topic Sina. I'll be sure to share with anyone who I feel will benefit from such information!
Hi Shyam, I did not create part 2 because there was not enough interest in part 1. However, please watch this video as I briefly go over the advanced nanodegree on Self driving car engineer offered by Udacity: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QFf99ODp-YM.html
Hi Sina, for a future video would you be interested in sharing some details about the technologies/research you have or are current working on for surgical robots. I would love to learn!
Any chance you could do a video about how distance/triangulation sensors work with robots to adjust user frames for welding & router cutting applications? Tried to find info online, but there is nothing. . . Thx
It really depends on your interest and whether you are good at math and programming or not. If you like math and programming, then go with Robotics Software Engineering
Hi, Sina, I just finished my bachelors in Mechanical engineering from India this year and I got admitted to the masters program in Mechanical engineering ( with robotics specialization) at the University of Colorado boulder. Now from your videos, I have seen a lot of Mechanical engineers getting jobs in the field of robotics. But my only concern is that I'm a fresher and I have gone through a lot of LinkedIn job postings and almost every one of them asks for work experience which I don't have and it really makes me think whether I will be able to get a job as a fresher after my masters degree. Can you please shed some light on this. Thank you
Hi, im not Sina but jusy thought I'd offer my two cents: try to get a co-op or internship at a robotics company while doing your masters degree. From a mechanical engineering background and no work experience, it may be easier to start with a controls core job in factory automation, and the easiest place to land an internship like that are the national job conventions (SHPE, SWE, BEYA), where companies like rockwell or ABB attend. Join your university student chapters to find some help with presenting yourself at these conferences. Many other companies (especially automotive) also attend and have these sorts of internships. Im pretty sure University of Colorado Boulder will have a lab working on robotics research, or student teams working on something like a self driving car or quadruped for inspection. Try to join these groups on campus; while it isnt direct work experience, this is a major factor that many companies look at when hiring students fresh out of college. At least at bigger companies, or the very well known smaller companies doing big projects everyone knows about. You can probably land a job at a smaller company with less work experience, but they'll still want to see good projects (like the stuff from the nanodegree or university projects) as well as demonstrated resourcefulness, not just a degree and good grades. If you are a mechanical engineer who can prototype and code robots (on a lower level), and you can prove that with real hands on experience using the skills, you will be fine
@@venkatadurvasula6379 im still finishing my university studies as well, but I was just hired to intern as a mechanical designer at a big surgical robotics company (the davinci team at intuitive). Before this I mainly worked in medical device companies in manufacturing, doing stuff like fixture design and automating quality control or visual inspection. Im giving you this advice because it has worked for me and many of my friends to get internships and full time offers from some of the largest companies in the US, including international students
I’m near retirement age, but share in the excitement about all things such things. I’m in Fort Collins, incase you don’t already know, there is an ABB robotics here in Fort Collins. I believe they specialize in robotic welding.
1- Check out Comma AI and contribute to their open source self driving technology. 2- Do an internship with a self-driving car company or an automaker company.
Have no background in science and math. But want to venture in robotics . Am in my 30s. I have a vision of building cheap machines to help disabled people with this technology .
Hi and thanks for your comment. If you are planning to build robots meaning hardware and software and you are a beginner, this roadmap video may not be for you, I'd recommend you check out this video instead: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J0ssFp7yN8Y.html
Salam, thank you so much Sina jan for your support and helpful advices I am currently working with a self driving car company as Hil engineer assistant my major is electronic, so what course you recommend me self driving car engineer or robotics engineer? Mersi
Hi Siyarus and thanks for your comment. please watch the video to the end and see the description box. It should give you some ideas on courses you need to take. Also check out the excel sheet I mentioned at the beginning of the video to find out what online courses those SDC Engineers have completed.
Hi, I'm a mechatronics engineer. I want to make a robotic arm that will move objects using computer vision. I use YOLOv5 as my computer vision model. What is the best and most efficient platform to make a robot that plans its own trajectory and connect it all with computer vision from YOLO?
I would say no!. I know its cheap than udacity But the flaw of is that it uses virtual ROS , not on physical system so to make it work on physical system it becomes quite tough. I wasted my much time in it.
@@johniitjodhpur I’d argue that using their virtual ros workspace can get the job done for teaching fundamental concepts no? Running it on my own computer was something I tried and I agree that it isn’t really helpful given how their courses are setup. The price difference is not insignificant for me, nearly 500% difference.
Hello! I am a student of 11th grade. I want to participate in robotics competitions.I don't know anything about robotics.Can you please guide me? I can't understand from where to start or what to do. My school doesn't participate in any such competitions. Can you please tell me if I can register individually for such competitions?
Hii sir I want to do mechanical engineering and after that I want to become a robotics engineer so which programming language should I learn please tell!
Hi Aquib and thanks for your question: what these two videos in the following order (watch both of them): 1- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8mOHS8M1Pmc.html 2- ru-vid.com5SLif03E-KE
@Robotix with Sina I am very confused to purse a career as a robotic hardware engineer. Basically my question is that I am from Pakistan and their is not much universities which are focusing on robotics,I applied in my dream university Neduet ,and give my first priority to electrical engineering, because it covers alot of parts of robotics,but unluckily my aggregate was not too much,and I am selected in automotive engineering So should I get in to automotive?and will further plan for mechatronics in future? So automotive is fit for me, because I am very confused that if I did my bachelor's with automotive and will also learn coding and electronics by doing side courses? So is it possible that in future I can work as an robotic engineer and it will be easy for me to get into Ms in mechatronics or robotics from automotive background...??? Please suggest me what should I do Thanks
Hello Mr. Sina, I'm 18 and I'm really interested in Learning Robotics. I intend to start learning on my own but I discovered that there few people like you who make resources available and I think you guys are really busy because there few people in this field compared to others, Pls do you think I'll be able to understand these things at my level or are there other resources I can use first before making use of these. I will not be able to afford the courses for now so I intend to learn some of the requirements individually like the programming languages but I don't know how far/deep and what areas to focus on in each of them Thank you for your contents
Hi David and thanks for your comment. Are you new to robotics? if so, start with this video, just follow step 1 and step 2 and if you can afford step 3: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J0ssFp7yN8Y.html Do you live in the US or Canada?
@@RobotixwithSina Thank you for your response Mr. Sina. I've watched the video you suggested as well as other videos on your channel. I'm from Nigeria. I guess I know where to start now. Thank you
BTW, do you have a similar review video pertaining to the Advanced Self Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree program and also the Robotics Nanodegree program?
