Studying robotics

If you live in the USA then there really aren't any B.S.R. degrees (bachelor of science robotics). I'm sure there might be some exceptions.

In the USA, if you are interested in robotics then you get a degree in EE or ME and attend a school that does research in that area. Random example:

If you are not in the USA then I don't know what to tellyou.

Good luck.

Just study CS, you can always become a robotics software engineer later.

Just finished my first year of Robotics at Plymouth UK, the field is like a mixture of Electronics, Programming and Engineering. You're right there aren't many pure Robotics jobs going atm, but the skills you'll learn will allow you to take many other types of jobs as well.

So if you like programming, electronics, engineering and maybe even neural networks then It's a great choice, but if you only like one then do that instead.

Look at the university you're going to and compare the classes individually. People tend to take a too high level approach when asking these types of questions and fail to realize that they'll be going to specific classes weekly as a result which they may or may not enjoy

you will designing designing mills and escalators for the rest of your life. (and maybe elevators if you're really lucky)

Lathes doesn't count because school won't teach you differential geometry

I've got my honors is Mechatronic Engineering, which can be seen as a combo of mechanical and electrical, but it's the closes thing to a robotics degree where I live.
So far the jobs I've had ended up being in the Automation industry, first for a brewery and now for a certain car manufacturing company.. A lot of PLC programming and robot programming/teaching. Not much actual robot design though... That's very hard to come by.
