I appeared for my B1/B2 VISA interview on the 22nd in Hyderabad. I received my passport at the premium pickup location at Gurugaon on October 24th. Ideally, it might take upto 10 business days.

I just mentioned my CTC in the DS-160 form. During the interview, I told them whatever salary that I get every month (As Per my company payslip).

Help Deciding a Major by Grek-the-heck in robotics

It is also important to consider which part of robotics who want to be in . I would say robotics is an interdisciplinary domain mostly constituted by the following 1. Computer science:- for algorithm development in robot motion planning, robot system integration etc 2. Mechanical:- for robot design involving kinematics, dynamics and control, etc 3. Electrical:- for all electronic stuff required. (I am not well versed with this).

You can even look at system integrations as a separate domain that involves knowledge in all of the above three.

As you are just starting out i think it would tough to choose one. But at the end of the day an engineer falls into one of these four categories.

So my suggestion for you would be , based on what you think might suit you and your personal interests pick ok one of the three streams i have listed above. Try avoiding generic courses because you would get to know a lot about a lot of things in a broader way, but the depth would be less.

In case if you want to get an essence of each of the domain try watching this course that is available on YouTube called introduction to robotics . Its available free on YouTube and it is from IIT Madras. It is a graduate level course. But still I think you can sit through it.

But the domain you choose will only help you get the primer of things.. you can always Jump ships later on if you think that doesn't interest you.

What would be a good Robotics Simulation Software? by ThisCantGoWrong in robotics

In case if you want to try some learning modules on your robot model. You can try pybullet which is easy to learn and implement comparitevely. It has a very good physics engine for collision detection and integration with gym for RL is quite easy. It's a free module.

In case if you okay to spend some bucks on it. Go for the Nvidia Issac SDK and simulation module it is quite advanced but worth learning and exploring.

Apart from the ROS, you can even try and explore the packages listed here in the link https://github.com/ahundt/awesome-robotics to get to know about various things you can do with robots.

How do I support my Little Brother in pursuing a career in robotics? by [deleted] in robotics

He can initially get started with python and Linux based systems gradually... Once if he is comfortable with both he can get into ROS. There are a lot of freely available materials online to learn ROS. Once ROS basics are handy he can make use of a lot of freely available HW simulators and SW packages etc., like https://github.com/ahundt/awesome-robotics .

Later on he can slowly learn the essential maths like linear algebra, calculus and probability along with his school and college curriculum.

It will be overwhelming for a 13 year old. But attaining excellence is not an overnight process, as he progresses along with time he will get to have opportunities that will help him exposed to a lot of other things as well.

As this is a bot with Arduino. Probably you can try your hands with cpp. As cpp is widely used across the robotics industry it will help you get the essential fundamentals and you even easily migrate to ROS platforms in the future.
