Moving from Mechanical to Robotic

Hi, I'm a Level 7 mechanical engineering student and I am considering a career in robotics. What would be the best way to become familiar with robotic design and programming?

Firstly, start with C as a programming language. I'm not sure about the path to robotics, but you have mechanical engineering under your belt, so I would suggest using the Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards for basics electronics. Both will give you a good introduction to programming as well.
