Should I study robotics? Do you need to be smart and good at maths?
You will definitely be designing and test piloting real gundams exactly like in the animeThis will definitely happen (trust me)
>>23952997>>23952755/sci/fag here phd and all, the answer is it depends. Piloting is entirely different from design/manufacturing/maintenance so if you want to do the former just do flight school/air force. If the latter, you don't have to be "smart" per se, but you have to have a "feel" for how physics/numbers work. Most of the time it'll be more about troubleshooting than invention, and if you can't work on a project/task for hours/days on end without burning out you're not getting far into any big engineering program
You should study to do plane maintenance. Or if you're really smart mechanical/materials engineering.Robots are not a software problem, the real issue is getting enough energy to power them up.
>>23952755Robotics is not a career path; mechanical engineering is.>Do you need to be smart and good at mathsYes (and also drawing). It's STEM in its purest form, so you have to be very autistic to succeed.
>>23953243Well shit, that's me outI swear I'm not an idiot but I'm just awful with maths
>>23953735you can scam tests with LLMs these days but good luck making an original project/idea
