What are the absolute skillsets required to develop a career to a world class-level in Robotics, Embedded Systems and computer vision?

Ifueko Igbinedion

There are no absolute skillsets in my opinion. Because of the wide variety of niches within the field, focusing on the skills to make your dream career a reality can vary. For example, if you want to actually build impressive robotic systems, Mechanical Engineering skills may be more valuable than programming skills, but if you want to program intelligent robotic systems, the reverse may be true. I think its more important to focus on building a career around you skills and interests, rather than learning arbitrary skills in the general field.
