What are the best universities to study robotics or mechanical engineering? If I only study robotics, will I be able to work at big companies like Google?

I would love to work at Google or OTHER BIG COMPANIES AND ALSO WORK WITH ROBOTS.

Gonzalo,

Maybe you should step back and examine your priorities and goal.

If you just want to "work at Google", just be good at what you do. Full stop.

If it's robotics you're interested in, then study it and then see where it lands you in the real world, Note: the biggest and most exciting robotics advances have been in smaller companies focused on specific and well-defined aspects of robotics like computer vision, Self-driving cars, drones, human prosthetics, robotic dogs, etc.

My point is, do what you love and develop your talents to your highest capability to achieve Maslow's self-actualization. If you don't yet know what triggers that "personal self-satisfaction" when a job or task is completed, then work in the general direction of, in this case, engineering with a weather eye out for the thing that really excites you. Then go for it when you find it!

Point is, keep moving forward investing in improving your skills while also looking out for a true day-2-day career you can love.

All the school recommendations are good, but maybe being a "Big Fish" in a "Small pond" is better than a medium fish in the ocean.... so to speak. Find a school you can afford that does a "good" job on robotics (or whatever) and you may find it easier to stand out when the time comes.

Good Luck!

Tony

Good Day Gonzalo!

If you're interested in studying robotics, here are some top universities to consider:

1. Carnegie Mellon University: Offers a strong M.S. in Robotic Systems Development through its renowned Robotics Institute.
2. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): Known for its innovative research and advancements in robotics.
3. Stanford University: Provides excellent robotics programs with a focus on research.
4. University of California, Berkeley: Offers leading programs and research in robotics.
5. Oxford Robotics Institute: Inspires students with top-notch robotics education.

For more detailed rankings and information, check resources like EduRank. You can explore these universities to find the right fit for your robotics education and career goals.

The robotics will be even more attractive to Google and Microsoft if proprietary software is added. [More capital and commercial interest generated.]
