When you think about the types of jobs you can get as a Python developer, you probably weigh

the differences between data science and web development.

But did you consider programming robots in Python?

And not just toys, but serious productive machines.

It turns out there's a gap in the industry where we could use more Python developers

in robotics.

That's why I'm happy to have Ricardo tell us here to give us an overview of the software

development side of robotics programming with Python. This is Talk Python to Me, episode weekly podcast on Python, the language, the libraries, the ecosystem, and the personalities.

This is your host, Michael Kennedy.

Follow me on Twitter where I'm at M. Kennedy. Keep up with

a show and listen to past episodes at talk python.fm and follow the show on Twitter via at

Talk Python. This episode is brought to you by Linode and Tidelift. Please check out what they're

offering during their segments. It really helps support the show. Ricardo, welcome to Talk Python to

me. Thank you very much. It's my pleasure.

Yeah, it's great to have you here. It has been way too long since we've talked about robotics

and Python on the podcast. We were just talking, and I think it's been at least four years since the last

time we've talked about this. And the world is, of course, changing so much in technology

and Python and robotics as well. So I'm really excited to have you on the show to talk about that.

Yeah, it's my pleasure. I think that it was the time to start to continue talking about robotics

in Python. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Now, before we get to that, let's start with your personal story.

How did you get into programming in Python?

Well, I started programming in Python when I was doing my PhD, but there was just kind of, you know, only for making this small experiment work.
