    I'm a robotics engineer at a startup in India. We build indoor delivery robots for hotels & hospitals. When I joined, the tech team was of only 2 people(me & my supervisor). The supervisor left and I got the chance to build the whole product. I've been doing that for 1.5years now.

    It was really motivative. Please, make more interview like this.

    Oh incredible. I've heard that it is really difficult to earn money for robotic engineers and I was thinking about to change after 5 years of dream. This video is really awesome. Thanks Sina

    It's a very Informative Interview. Thank you sina.
  • @uncharted4076
    awesome interview. I had no idea there was so much money in computer science
  • @fatiima7180
    This video is really full of useful information
  • I am also doing my masters in robotics and artificial intelligence... I want to study robotics phd in usa top universities
  • @satioOeinas
    I am currently doing a BEng in computer science. But I really am excited about Robotics. I gave the opportunity to study a full in robotics masters programme, but it will take 5 years. It’s called robot programming and machine learning. Should I rather do this than to finish my computer science degree?
