        it dude? lol. i make robotics. including computer vision and ml. worry not. i’ll think of you every time an algorithm gets too many layers and starts to smell like an ai.

          Computer vision and machine learning has little to do with robotics, but alright since you seem to work with know something about thermodynamics and are not a sys_admin like all the desk jockeys, i ll be nice and call you the E word.

          But robotics itself is such a small niche that random people invoke because they see it in movies that I am skeptical to believe it as a systems and automation engineer, that s basically as close as 95% of engineer will ever get to robotics unless you re in China (mechatronics is not robotics btw) or work for Kuka/ABB…
