I am interested in mobile robots and AI/Machine Learning. Could someone give me some advice on making a career related to this? I know its a broad question, i'm just curious if there is a market besides the fun and interest in robotics for smart robots. I have some experience in Machine Learning and i know that on the Software side for the web and apps there is a big market trend for people who know how to make sense of data and use it to predict useful things. What is the career growth for mobile robotics, mobile robotics dealing with AI, and mobile robotics dealing with machine learning. By AI i mean things like path finding using A*, Monte Carlo Localization, etc, which is very different from machine learning using lots of data to make predictions. I would guess traditional AI is more popular right now in the field of robotics but is there a demand yet for machine learning techniques?
If i were to go into the field of robotics and focus on the AI/machine learning part, i want to know what i should learn (every important parts with beginner, intermediate, and advance understanding as a Software Engineer focusing on AI/Machine Learning) in order to work for a company that works on mobile robots.
