Beginner asks what to learn first for a 6DOF robotic arm

1 reports · 1 sources

A self-described beginner with only a slight understanding of electronics and Arduino posted on Reddit r/robotics, planning to use a 6DOF robotic arm as a first project to put on a resume for job hunting, but is unsure of the starting order. The options he raised are: first learn mathematics such as kinematics, first do design, or first sketch out a plan and then do CAD. The post gives no specific plan or results, and no conclusion was reached.
