I am full-stack software engineer and I am looking to get into robotics as a career. How screwed am I?

I've basically maxed out my abilities as a software engineer. Meaning I can build just about anything from scratch and do a decent job at it. And before you go off on me saying I don't know shit or nowhere maxed out my skill set, you are right. What I am saying is I am more so burnt out that I don't feel like improving my skills as a software dev anymore even though I can perform at a high level.

Robotics has always interested me especially because I believe it is an integral part of the future. I would love to get involved and use my skills as a software engineer to jumpstart as a robotics engineer. Is this even possible without going back to school? Where do I start? Any advice is much appreciated. I am so burnt out by my day job I can barely function. I need a new fascinating challenge.

Thank you!

Of course it's possible. Don't have to go back to school. Robotics is the combination of several disciplines tho. A good start is to start or brush up on C/C++ and maybe start learning about Embedded Systems.
