Is a career in robotic engineering a good idea or not? I'm

That's moronic. Imagine wanting to become president, and getting a degree in presidentology to prepare. You don't do that, you take political science and specialize.
Do mechanical or electrical. Meme degrees exist, don't fall for them.

Mechatronics?

Robotics and mechatronics degrees are honestly some of the lowest level engineering degrees I've ever seen (at least in my country). Listen to >>8969468 and do mechanical/electrical and when you graduate, do one more year in a MSc in whatever field you wanna specialize in

mechatronics is a total meme. I do elec/comp Eng and have done more meaningful robotics than all the people in mech combined. mech has 150+ students but only 12 patricians do elec/comp.

its hilarious actually because I show my research at open days and people always assume I did mechatronics - dispite the fact that mech doesn't teach the stuff needed for the project I did.

Pretty much any Engineering degree can land you a job in robotic engineering. Pigeonholing yourself is not a good idea, especially when you're just starting out and you don't really know what you like yet.

You should do one of
- Mechanical engineering
- Electrical engineering
- (Electrical and) Computer Engineering
- Computer Science (Machine learning, computer vision/navigation, ect...)
- perhaps even Materials engineering

Well thanks guys, I'll keep this in mind.

What would a good minor be for a CS undergrad course? Robotics?

If you want to do really cool robotics stuff, don't study engineering. Study mathematics and become a control theorist. The vast gulf between what we know how to do control theoretically and what we actually want to be able to do is what's holding much of this back.

You're unlikely to land a job in robotics tbqh.

Get into something like Machine learning, Computer vision, ect...

Companies and researchers are looking for depth, not broad knowledge.
Specialize in one thing, keep the rest a hobby.
