I want to work with robots in the future. Not the ones in factories
You are currently reading a thread in /sci/ - Science & Math
I want to work with robots in the future. Not the ones in factories that build cars together for example, but humanoid robots.
I want to be involved in the "general design" of them, but I'm not sure what subject I have to get into to do that.
Would it really be robotics? Because that just seems like a mixture of informatics and mechatronics.
Should I study mechanical engineering instead?

either could allow you to work with robots, but i recommend the mechanical engineering approach as it tells you everything you need/ want to know about robots, and then some

Why do people always want robots to look humanoid??? Unless its for sex, there is literally no reason to spending time on how to design such a thing. A robot with a simple form cna perform most tasks just as good if not better than one with a humanoid form.

good fucking luck. every engineer out of college wants to do that. 99% of everyone that gets into robotics does the " boring" stuff. if you go to a top tier university and just BTFO every course, maybe you could get into it, but i'm pretty sure that if you are posting on 4chan about it, you won't be able to pass the cut.
Either study computer science, then work your way through computer engineering, electronic engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, or start with mechanical engineering and go the other way.
Robotics is an incredibly diverse and dispersed field. It's not a well enough defined field to be able to major in it, for example, so just start somewhere and if you are persistent you will get to where you want to be. The future belongs to whoever makes it at this point.
Cool picture by the way, mind if I save it?

Well we design spaces/objects to be used by robots in humanoid form (humans) so it makes sense to design robots with a similar form-factor.
You can't get any more popsci than OP.
Lets be honest we don't need sci-fi fantasies running our society

We don't need cars, mass produced snack cakes, or vaccines but we make them anyway

Well I'm not any of those thing but I know people who are and you pick one them work on a project with all the other in what ever company or college.

Stumbled on your thread by accident.
My humble opinion is that anything from informatics, computer engineering, mechatronics, mechanical... is a viable choice. I work in the industrial sector as a computer engineer and my co-workers all have different backgrounds ranging from power electronic, motor, mechanical etc. Robotics these days is a highly interdisciplinary field so just pick a specialty and be the best at it. The jack-of-all trades type guys in robotics belong to the 20th century.
I'm actually majoring in Robotics engineering. I'm starting to worry that I'll end up with a superficial understanding of ME, EE, and CS, but an expert in nothing. I do well academically, but I wish I just majored in CS. How fucked am I?

Anyone know if chappie could the slightest bit be possible? Transferring human conscious into a robot? Possibilities to save amazing people into a humanoid form? I know that Google x started up a spec demo of what it is used for nowadays, and how we can achieve the future we dream about.

I want a sexbot
Your problem is not realizing that the industrial robots are the same thing as the humanoid ones. And mechanical engineering or electrical engineering would both be fine. But you WILL have to work with the industrial ones to get experience. Then you just might be able to get hired for a company that's developing some concept or something. Honestly your post pisses me off. Industrial robots are interesting as fuck and will always be more economically relevant than your fucking fantasy sexbot.

Thanks for the insight

It's exactly the reason why I despise the japanese. No one else is working on stuff like this, because the japanese are the most uptight society. It's pretty disgusting and pathetic desu.

Humanoid robots can replace labor in so many more fields than just assembling mechanical parts at one spot. It's pretty obvious that they are the future.
I want to do the same as OP, but I want to take it to space and whatnot. Imagine mining asteroid fields or doing EVA work, a robot would be more expendable and efficient than a human astronaut (In the long run). We could put the astronaut to other uses as well.

>Transferring human conscious into a robot?
That's not how it works.
>i want to do this
>i want to do that
That's not how it is, retards. Focus on the specific theory and less on the overall system.
>>7653252
We are talking about IA. No, production machines.. Retard..

Monitoring/operating a robot on an asteroid hundreds of miles away from a space station could be one.

So if I want to work on the field of nanorobotics applied to biology WHERE should I start? I have no problems with getting into two or more majors, or studying for more than two decades but I'm kinda lost of where to start.

Bump because no answer.

thats exactly what is going to happen.
