You can teach yourself robotics. I'm sure other people on this forum will tell you about great kits you can buy and other great links. Try looking at Parallax for a start. :grin:

Try looking at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute at: http://www.ri.cmu.edu/ . It seems like they offer undergraduate minors and graduate degrees in robotics.

I have seen many robotics related things come out of CMU. You may have heard of the CMU CAM, which was developed by the computer science and robotics institute at CMU. You can read up on this masterpiece at: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~cmucam/ .

Scan for all the universities that entered the DARPA Grand Challenge Robotics contest. These are likely to be schools that have good robotics programs.

Stanford also comes to mind.

I think a good article (or small blurb) to put in Servo would be to list all the "top Robotics Universities". Especially with the FIRST competitions, there are a lot of students out there looking to emphasize in robotics in college.

Dick, that's good advice. I'm thinking about entering graduate school and would like to do something with robotics.

Spot on. UMASS Amherst also has a good program.
