Surgical Robotics Software Engineer - Roadmap:

In this post, I'll present two roadmaps:

A. The first roadmap is comprehensive, encompassing nearly all the necessary skills one needs to acquire to become a surgical robotics software engineer. This roadmap is particularly beneficial for undergraduates and graduate students with a year or two before graduation. It also suits engineers planning to transition to surgical robotics software engineering within the next year or so.
