Robotics programmer?

Question

IT education

Hello. Always liked robots, something complex and interesting. Now in a small stupor. I studied, programmed Frontend in the form of Js, etc. (in general, you know), I realized that it was not mine. Also, the backend in the web in Java, node, wrote in Python, also did not like it. And so I decided to do what I always wanted, programming related to robots and the like. I have experience in C ++, now I started to learn C, for programming microcontrollers. But I don’t really like messing with electronics, but I like programming (I haven’t tried messing with electronics). Perhaps before drawing conclusions, try electronics? Or maybe there is some area in this direction where only programming is needed? Thanks for the answer!

Answer 1

When the installation is completed, it remains to revive the monster.
SCADA

Answer 2

If we take automation in a broad sense, then - Codesys PLC languages ​​(programmable logic controllers):
text [IL], ST
graphic: [LD, FBD], CFC, SFC

Answer 3

Embedded developer - read, look there. Example: on stm, control of some kind of unit, polling sensors, etc., etc. And the user from the tablet controls through a graphical interface. Usually, electronics is handled by special people, circuit engineers or similar. Breeding boards is a whole science. They give a fee - you have to program it.

Answer 4

In general, the topic is rotten for the time being, today robotics is driven by everything that is available and studied by developers.
In the arsenal, starting from primitive Arduino shields at a hobby level, PLC, Raspberry under python and other n.s. languages, DSP, you can list for a long time and in general, complete discord and the absence of a robostandard, as is traditionally the case in PC architecture under one axis or another.
Do answer 1 on what is easier and faster for you to master, the price of 1 fig will be large and it will be up to customers to decide whether they will pay for your automation or even change their mind.
The theme of the instrumental platform has been hanging in the air for a long time, and now, at the turning point of the global pandemic, it is not just hanging, but sticking out to all industrialists and housewives.
