Hey everyone, looking for some genuine opinions here. I’m currently a second-year Software Engineering student in Australia and I’ve been seriously considering switching to Mechanical Engineering with a Mechatronics & Robotics major, followed by a Master of Professional Engineering (Mechatronic). That’s a 4 year undergrad plus 2 year masters A few things I’d love honest input on: Is a Mechanical Engineering degree still worth pursuing in 2026 with AI moving so fast, or will a lot of that work get automated too? For those already working in robotics or mechatronics does your degree actually reflect what you do day to day? Was the Masters worth it or could you have gotten into the industry with just the undergrad? Any regrets about the path you took? Appreciate any input from people actually in the industry or going through something similar. submitted by /u/sussypanduh [link] [Kommentare]

I built Small & Cute Robot arms from Scratch for my ROS 2 mobile robot. I'll probably make new smaller & cuter version of my robot with these small arms. submitted by /u/martincerven [link] [Kommentare]

Multiplayer DIY robot where you learn mechanics and engineering...600+ parts and 6 hour build time. It has custom electronics, bb gun mechanism and piezo equipped plates for hit detection. You controll it via mobile app and can have up to 8 tanks in multiplayer game submitted by /u/Iron_Fleet_Support [link] [Kommentare]

The Seeed team will be in Garching-Hochbrück near Munich tomorrow for a hands-on workshop with reBot Arm, our fully open-source robotic arm. Try it in person, ask technical questions, meet robotics folks, and grab some pizza with us.

Sorry for the slow pace of the video, but I figured that seeing each visualizer perform the same path makes them more intuitive. All of these visualizers are rendered on a meta quest 3 using OpenXR. submitted by /u/RoboLord66 [link] [Kommentare]

Where should I learn? What programming language should I learn for robotics and where should I learn it from? Are there any free resources available??? submitted by /u/Jumpy_Muffin6244 [link] [Kommentare]

Hey all, I'm a robotics engineer by training turned ML/AI engineer because of passion right after school. I want to start combining these skills together and I think a competition is the best way of doing it. Here's an example of a challenge I'm talking about to set expectations : https://www.intrinsic.ai/events/ai-for-industry-challenge Anyone up for this? L.E.1. I'm based in Europe. I think online only competitions would be easiest to start with to get momentum going, then if the results are worth it, we can consider meeting in person if it makes sense. L.E.2. I don't have the next challenge in mind yet, I'm open to suggestions. submitted by /u/Due_Pickle1627 [link] [Kommentare]
