I'm a first-semester mathematics student at a Technical university in Germany, and I also have a bachelor's in physics.
I've always been interested in robotics, and now I'm taking an introductory course in robotics (forward and inverse kinematics/ PID control/ dynamics etc.). Since I like it very much, and I'm seeing that lots of topics I covered in my bachelor's could be really useful (lagrangian/Hamiltonian/newtonian mechanics, dynamical systems, electronics, data analysis etc.) I was thinking about making it my career.
I wanted to ask several questions, or better, get an overview of various topics:
Given my background and my current education, which areas of robotics do you think could be better suited for me/ could I access? Are there any growing fields related to my background?
Which courses do you think I should take?
For mathematical courses, I took the basics for physicists, then I took differential geometry. I'm planning on taking courses in probability theory and statistics and some courses in machine learning and deep learning/ visual computing (to get a general education). So, apart from the basics in maths, which mathematical courses do you think could be useful? Which courses that are not usually in a mathematics/physics degree should I take, depending on the various specializations?
- What are the best ways to get experience in the field as a person with my background?
feel free to ask more questions about me/ my courses!
Thank you
