Why it worked
The post breaks down a complex topic (robotics engineering) into digestible parts, using clear visuals and concise text. It appeals to a niche audience interested in STEM and DIY projects, offering valuable information in an easily shareable format.
Summary
This slideshow breaks down the three essential fields for robotics engineers: mechanical, electrical, and software. It details the key skills and knowledge required in each area, from CAD design and circuit building to programming and AI integration.

THE THREE FIELDS
every
ROBOTICS
ENGINEER
MUST LEARN
Mechanic
You NEED to learn
CAD!!! How to design
and produce parts!
It will never be enough screws
Take aways:
- Build along side electronics
- Understand physical limitations
motor torque, weight, constraints etc.
- Math: kinematics, torque and load
calculations, tolerances and friction
Electrical
"The heart of the robot"
This is where most fail.
As anything could wrong without ever
finding the problem
btw this is your
new best friend
Work on:
- Motors and drivers
depend on
each other
- Power distribution
- Sensors, signal and noise
- Filtering (capacitors)
Software
the brain
Programming isn't python
anymore, you need to dive
deeper into C/C++, maybe
even rust
work with sensor data, create
control systems and utilize
real time programming
Make embedded systems
intelegent, add AI:
- Computer vision
- Reinforcement learning
- Tool calling w/LLM's
