THANK YOU so many people dont understand how they got the knowledge and why it what they did works, its the experience of building the connections between the code on the screen, the math on the paper, and the robot on the field it is awesome thank you
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoguths. Absolutely, you nailed it! It’s all about those connections-bringing together the code, the math, and the real-world results. That’s where the real understanding and excitement come from.👊🚀
Your videos, along with Articulate Robots in RUclips, have fueled my excitement and deepened my passion for merging scientific knowledge with the hands-on process of building autonomous robots. Thank you so much for creating this content! I’m eager to watch more and will definitely dive into your older videos as well.
me too... but not sure when the collage and contract with current company ends.. 🥲 did a lot of electronics from 4th std till high school ends... then haven't touched the soldering iron ever since...
I'm in my 2nd year of my BTech Robotics and AI degree, and ive been learning all the things u just mentioned here, but never understood properly how we are going to use then in application especially the maths. Amazing video, it made me understand why we need to study those things. Thank you!
I'm currently a mechatronics student with a focus in robotics. The closer I get to graduation the more daunting this career field feels. The program I'm in isn't the best but I'm working through it. Hoping I can find more experience through personal projects and internships.
I am an Electrical Engineering graduate who specializes in Robotics. I read most of these textbooks while in the university. Am considering doing my research interests in Robotics, Intelligent and autonomous system
Why did the algorithm just brought up this channel to me now. I think this problem is what's gatekeeping me into understanding more on robotics and mechatronics. As a graduating student taking up mechanical and mechatronics, I think I still lack great foundation to transition in robotics engineering. I hope to see more of your videos and to learn the real robotics without filtering the math, programming, and actual problem solving. Hope to connect with you
I'm really interested in this course, and I have registered on your website, I'm working full-time so I don't have time to research, and I need a project based babysitting course to explain concepts and how to apply them in real-life.
Thanks for registering and showing your interest! Yes, working full-time and learning something new is super challenging. Once the program is up, I will definitely let you know. Hope you can build a robot that can actually babysit as well ;)
I want to get my 10-year old son into robotics as he loves building things with Legos, computers, and coding small games in Scratch. Do you have any recommendations where I should start him out? We're in China at the moment. His math is pretty strong for his age. -Mike
Sounds like your boy's amazing! As I haven't experienced kids education in China, I can't speak to much. That being said, I can share a keyword "first robotics" if you haven't heard about and if that may help anyway. The "first robotics" is a pretty popular competition in North America among middle/high school students. The in-depth knowledge even goes into almost junior level in college, which is pretty cool.
I might have finally found someone who could guide me for my robotics journey ❤ Can we expect a robot/uav build tutorials as i hv never be able to build one😣
Thank you, that means a lot! I'm glad to be part of your robotics journey. My content (will) focuses on research and industrial applications, using control theories, their implementations, and etc., rather than just RC hobbies. Stay tuned for more in-depth content, including potential build tutorials!
Hi Sir, ....! Thanks for the video! Can You do Tutorial Series on the subject CNC Motion Control basic 3 axis for wood carving purpose? Using any of the G-code streaming PLC available in market? 1) How can We configure such a PLC to read G-codes from a USB Drive plugged in to it and send motion signals to Servo drives 2)Example:- a basic Square pocket with X,Y and Z interpolation movements to carve that Pocket. 3) The G-Codes from any CAM program like Autodesk Fusion360 with suitable post processor for the PLC 4)How to Display the 3 axis on a HMI Screen with realtime DRO, Reading and stuff (Just Like Mach3 CNC GUI Screenset by Mr.Physics Anonymous) I know it is a vast area. But Can you Breakdown the Concepts in Configuring the Controller to Read G-Codes and execute Motion Commands to Servo packs .! Also Please consider Connecting and configuring Servo packs to the controller as well. I am very passionate in making my own 3 axis CNC Router with a Industrial grade PLC based Controller with Servo packs. Rather than hobby level stuff. Please consider Gcode Streaming atleast..!
You know that is so true I believe a theory of lower gravity that means middle gravity what you need help particles I would never use a particle collider someone make a portal
Thanks for the question - yes and no. There will be several courses. For 101, you will practice math-code-robots in the simulations only. For embedded focus, we will use the actual hardware based on 101. For details, please checkout bit.ly/4g795lU FYI, there are 2 major reasons why I divided like this. First, it's more important to practice the scientific idea for beginners. Then, connecting actual wires is relatively trivial. Second, there are some people already have experiences with hands-on robots but they still expect the core scientific practices
typically how long would it take to become a robotics swe? i want to give myself a year to get the prerequisites since i have no background at all and then do my masters
If your goal is the grad school and if you work on the study full time, I guess 3-6months. But the timeline still depends on the detailed goals and how you do it. At a "very" high level, robotics software engineer is kind of like data science and the data is come from the robot sensors which again comes from the physics engine of this universe. ;) But yeah, it really depends. If you would like to casually chat with me, 🔥Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/hongyun-elliot-lee/ 🔥Discord: discord.gg/fEjuc5ccu5
Becoming the engineer was my goal but what halted it was figure out how to make money from it. Without having money to start a business or moving multiple states away for a job. 😢 how do I make $ with this skill set while broke?
Hey, thanks for the comment. I feel it's quite tough. Honestly, I'm not an expert or any "big" figure to advise on the situation. Sorry for not being helpful. Just as a human on this planet Earth, I believe every person has their unique and invaluable stories and potential. All I can say is to never give up and chase your dream because you are unique and invaluable person with infinite potential. 😃
@ubicoders I appreciate the uplifting comments. And you are right that one should never stop chasing their dream. I'm at a very rough time in my life currently. I would love to just open a R&D business right now and have the time to commit to it. And hire people for the skills and qualifications I lack. I'm just still working on how to use it to make money right away. After a first breakthrough and product I can see the money issue diminish but it's the interlude between now and then that is so uncertain.
What a great channel. I don't understand why I hadn't seen it before, it's amazing content. Thank you for this. I also work with quadcopters and AI. Can you tell me what simulator you use to train your drone? AirSim, Gazebo, flightmare, isaac sim, or something else? What are the problems with transferring the trained model to a real drone with px4 installed?
Hey~ why haven't you seen it before? Because I just started to run to take off. ;) For the navigation projects, I use airsim a lot. Others are like X-plane, simulink, etc. I even make one using Unity3D. But mostly, I just end up with collecting the actual data because the fact that it works on a sim doesn't guarantee it works in real life. Or maybe I'm just a bad engineer. 😭 😂 😲 😱 About the trained model to px4 stuff, I use the custom controllers and tune them in real life. To train the controller using whatever sim.s need the exact system identification process to duplicate. So, if it's new, I'd need system id process anyway so I just actually build a testbed first. Or, if I can find a paper discussing the similar system, that's another cheat we can use ;)
@@ubicoders Oh, there are still authors of such unique channels who respond. I'm very pleased and grateful to you for responding :) So you're saying that even if you teach it in airsim, it usually doesn't guarantee that the drone will fly in reality. It won't fly at all? Or will it fly really badly? And, as far as I understand, in 99% of cases, you need to use a testbed to check how the model trained in airsim will fly in a real environment? But it doesn't fly on the testbed, it just turns the engines? How do you solve this problem of transferring a trained model to the real world on a real drone?)
If you are talking about training CNN (convolutional neural net) for image processing for the navigation part, unless you're working on REALLY LARGE video data, training only airsim may let your CNN train only for the airsim textures of the scene. Then, if you change the scene or camera, the textures will be different, resulting in CNN outputting trash data, and you might need to train them again for the actual data. I don't usually train the state estimation and the controllers together using deep learning. If I understand your question correctly, I separate them.
@@ubicoders Okay, our dialogue has already helped me a lot, I'm very grateful for that :) And then how do you approach the problem of aggressive flight of a drone in a real environment that will navigate using two cameras (stereoscopic vision) and avoid obstacles?
That sounds like one of the good PhD dissertation topics! Unless you are making a terminator, my guess is that the performance of such a vehicle is not really the problem of the navigation algorithms itself. Instead, it is about the quality of the cameras you have. High resolution, fast shutter speed, and high frame rate. Then, likely, the camera could get heavier or more expensive. It will affect the flight dynamics if heavier, and the "aggressiveness" will be bounded. If it is more expensive camera for such a flight and if you know one, please let me know. I want to buy one if I can afford it. Checkout this guy who researches the drone racing with the A.I www.linkedin.com/in/davidescaramuzza/
There are fewer big companies like Tesla or other auto companies compared to other industries, e.g., FAANG. Instead, many robot companies have b2b warehouses and lidar solutions, for instance.
Hi there, I'm now studying Mechanical Engineering. I wanna be roboticist. How to gain programming basis knowledge, robotics software and electrical part in the field of mechanical engineering.
Awesome! For me, I tried to clone an autopilot for a robot car or drone that greatly helped me and grew a lot. The web developers make lots of clone SaaS just for the sake of practice. Robotics engineers can do the same!
Bro, can you suggest me what to do i am lost idk what to do i am 24 right now and i don’t know where to start i have been making drones since high school but as a hobbyist now i want to actually work as a robotics engineer on autonomous drones but i haven’t developed core robotics skills sure i have used ROS1 and ROS2 even did monocular visual slam but this field is really ambiguous. For example somehow now i am stuck in embedded engineer role where i design pcbs and write low level drivers and code for stm32 (that too from AI and some base code found on github) but in embedded i realise if you can just learn C and pcb designing in depth then with time and experience you can build you career but that’s not same with robotics there’s no right path as it’s multidisciplinary. Is there a way through which i can reach out to you! Just wanna have a good talk about this😭😭😭😭
Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I totally get where you're coming from. But you're 24 with ROS, VO, and an embedded system background and lost? Funny joke! :) DM me through my LinkedIn if applicable: www.linkedin.com/in/hongyun-elliot-lee/
First have immense confidence in yourself that you can achieve anything you want. Even if you have zero achievements in life keep your head and chin up. That's what that's what will make you go through this multidisciplinary path. Always think like " it's easy for me I am in expert in this" even though you might not be an expert.
Hey, thanks for the comment. I know a guy who started a UAV business at 39. He was an embedded system engineer and is now working on all types of unmanned vehicles-air, water, and ground. Of course, he had a hard time at the beginning, though.
Thanks for the comment. As I'm not an expert in HR or interviews, I can't help you directly. That being said, just as a person who applied for jobs and got a few offers with many other rejections and also a couple of co-founder offers, all I can say is that there seem to be not many tricks. Just become a competent candidate for the desired company. If you assume robotics engineering, all I can recommend is to start from the basic practice: math-code-physical effect.
@@ubicoders understood well that being said. I mean it good to encourage others to learn and know where or how to seek jobs. As example I want to learn how to fix robots or drones.1st I have to get a part 107 license if i want to start somewhere. 2nd i have to learn to soldering iron to gain a skill in order to fix or build drones. after talking to someone they suggest i learn how to build a drone and learn a platform called ardupilot such as mission planner or qgroundcontrol. this way i can get something under my belt that most part 107 pilot dont seem to know about. im sure that should be the same for other robot industry too. what they expect people to have to get a job that can prepare people what to look for when. it would be pointless just learning and not looking for a job if they dont know where to go about it...
@bluecavemen Ohhh I see your point. That's correct as well. I had to learn Pixahwk, QGC, and get the license and so on. This video was just focused on more like R&D and the scientific idea. Typically, engineering jobs are more focused on the algorithms and math for the design purpose. And soldering, using the tools like Pixhawk, QGC are generallyed assumed. For instance, one of my previous interview question was like given A, B, C sensors, how would you implement the Kalman filter to track the errors at the same time? So, autonomous vehicle engineers, regardless of the type of UAV, UGV, or UUV, are more focused on state estimation, control, etc. The issue I see about the robotics nowadays is exactly what you mentioned - it's hard to see where to get started. Is it mechanical engineering? aerospace? electrical? computer science?. For instance, the web industry has this popular tech stack called MERN. However, for robotics, ROS and PX4 are popular tools. But literally they are just tools. And some companies use their custom tools. I think similar thing is going on with the A.I engineers as they are not just coding using the programming tools. Hey, I think I really like your question. Next time, I'd love to include what the engineers are more focused on. It's a great topic!
@ having more content that most people in the uav, ugv etc. should be helpful to others. I’m myself am not a big fan of math. lol but for engineers would be helpful. Yes you are right the field in the UAV is limited. There should be a pyramid for beginners or people that are willing to get into the field to start somewhere. You start from the top and work yourself down that gives you a lot of opportunity and other jobs that they can help us. As example start from the type is to buy RC learn to drive, fly etc. once it breakers move down the pyramid. Which is learn to troubleshoot. From there. People should learn ardupilot. But in your case people should learn algebra if they want to become an engineer. This way it helps people know where to start. I myself not into content but you are smart. You should go talk UAV like robotic sky I been trying to get in hold of them but never get answer. If you do get in contact with them to have an interview and what their future like and then ask them what are they looking for for future hire etc. maybe contact other companies like higheyes which have some awesome helicopters uav. This way people like myself who don’t have a channel to get people them to sit down with and ask questions we the people are finding away to get in from hear from them and start improving on to our resume. I don’t think there any content out like that on RUclips something to look into
Hey i’m only a teenager who has no real experience in robotic or coding but Im pretty good at algebra, geometry and science class. I want to become a robotic engineer. I have ardunio and learning coding lanauge but i feel lost. Could anyone help me out? that would be really helpful
Thanks for the comments. Yes it can be pretty daunting. In my case, I was able to break through by accomplishing a small project like just making an IMU and track my movement. Or so.
Writing "Autonomous Robot" is redundant. A true is autonomous by definition. If a machine is not autonomous, it is not a robot, and is a remotely controlled machine. To be autonomous means something operates completely by itself without any help from outside sources such as Hunans. If you are remotely controlling a vehicle, that vehicle is not a robot.

As example I want to learn how to fix robots or drones.1st I have to get a part 107 license if i want to start somewhere. 2nd i have to learn to soldering iron to gain a skill in order to fix or build drones. after talking to someone they suggest i learn how to build a drone and learn a platform called ardupilot such as mission planner or qgroundcontrol. this way i can get something under my belt that most part 107 pilot dont seem to know about. im sure that should be the same for other robot industry too. what they expect people to have to get a job that can prepare people what to look for when. it would be pointless just learning and not looking for a job if they dont know where to go about it...
@bluecavemen Ohhh I see your point. That's correct as well. I had to learn Pixahwk, QGC, and get the license and so on. This video was just focused on more like R&D and the scientific idea.
Typically, engineering jobs are more focused on the algorithms and math for the design purpose. And soldering, using the tools like Pixhawk, QGC are generallyed assumed. For instance, one of my previous interview question was like given A, B, C sensors, how would you implement the Kalman filter to track the errors at the same time? So, autonomous vehicle engineers, regardless of the type of UAV, UGV, or UUV, are more focused on state estimation, control, etc.
The issue I see about the robotics nowadays is exactly what you mentioned - it's hard to see where to get started. Is it mechanical engineering? aerospace? electrical? computer science?. For instance, the web industry has this popular tech stack called MERN. However, for robotics, ROS and PX4 are popular tools. But literally they are just tools. And some companies use their custom tools. I think similar thing is going on with the A.I engineers as they are not just coding using the programming tools.
Hey, I think I really like your question. Next time, I'd love to include what the engineers are more focused on. It's a great topic!
@ having more content that most people in the uav, ugv etc. should be helpful to others. I’m myself am not a big fan of math. lol but for engineers would be helpful.
Yes you are right the field in the UAV is limited. There should be a pyramid for beginners or people that are willing to get into the field to start somewhere. You start from the top and work yourself down that gives you a lot of opportunity and other jobs that they can help us. As example start from the type is to buy RC learn to drive, fly etc. once it breakers move down the pyramid. Which is learn to troubleshoot. From there. People should learn ardupilot. But in your case people should learn algebra if they want to become an engineer. This way it helps people know where to start.
I myself not into content but you are smart. You should go talk UAV like robotic sky I been trying to get in hold of them but never get answer. If you do get in contact with them to have an interview and what their future like and then ask them what are they looking for for future hire etc. maybe contact other companies like higheyes which have some awesome helicopters uav.
This way people like myself who don’t have a channel to get people them to sit down with and ask questions we the people are finding away to get in from hear from them and start improving on to our resume.
I don’t think there any content out like that on RUclips something to look into
Hey i’m only a teenager who has no real experience in robotic or coding but Im pretty good at algebra, geometry and science class. I want to become a robotic engineer. I have ardunio and learning coding lanauge but i feel lost. Could anyone help me out? that would be really helpful
Sounds like you are ahead of most of the population. Which part do you feel lost?
Am not really good in math and it seems like I can't do much, in mechatronics Engineering field 😫😫😔
Thanks for the comments. Yes it can be pretty daunting. In my case, I was able to break through by accomplishing a small project like just making an IMU and track my movement. Or so.
Omg yes!
Writing "Autonomous Robot" is redundant. A true is autonomous by definition. If a machine is not autonomous, it is not a robot, and is a remotely controlled machine. To be autonomous means something operates completely by itself without any help from outside sources such as Hunans. If you are remotely controlling a vehicle, that vehicle is not a robot.
Awesome! Thanks!
Thanks
