Hello student,

All the engineering branches that you have mentioned are required for building and developing successful robots. Each branch have their own unique role in the robotics industry such as programming is done by CSE engineers, hardware and embedded programming by ECE engineers, the mechanical components by Mech engineers and the wires and the connections done by the Electrical engineers. Now it depends on you inclination towards the various subjects and aspects of the different branches. However, I still recommend you to not take electrical engineering as it has the least preference in the robotics industry. After completing B.Tech in any one of the degree, you can later specialize in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

I hope this helps, All the Best!

Dear,

Robotics require the knowledge of both hardware and software. Coming to the hardware part, the microcontroller is the heart of the robot and the integration of various components and sensors with the microcontroller matters. Coming to the software part, the code should be dumped into the microcontroller (either .asm or C or python) to control the working of the robot. Well, I would suggest ECE, if your interest of robotics involves a bit of hardware design also. Most ECE guys know software or learn software. However, most CSE guys have no clue about Hardware and even Embedded designs.

Some institutes nowadays offer a CCE (Computer and Communication), you can try that too. Just to add another important point, choose a right college. That’s far more important than the branch you choose.

Hope this helps!
