More and more (and also perhaps because I follow some twitterer about the topic) I learn about the increasingly amazing abilities of today robots.
They seem to get better ever faster (no surprise here, classical technology exponential curve).
At any rate I keep wondering: how come that me, a professional developer, hasn't been exposed to robot programming?
For how long is it going to be the exclusive realm of a select few?
Will it ever democratize? Or how to become a roboticist? Where are there jobs for such?

It's not going to come to you; go get it.

Indeed! but.. I am a little lost on how to get to it! 
Mmmm... maybe I should look at Uni stuff.. maybe they have robot course.. mm...

Get some starter kits and a soldering iron and get cooking

Great serie! I looked at the whole week!

I do feel left out! 
I was hoping programmers were bound to work on robots! :P

I guess it depends on your interests and where/how you started programming - starting professionally in 'c', having a background in electronics (among other things), I'd likely be more into Arduino, Edison, Raspberry Pi and things I could do with them than someone who started with java - and Ive constantly followed the trends with the MCU's etc being used
I dunno .. 'maybe'
These days, as pointed out in a recent discussion, you can run Yocto (Linux) on a Pi and then C#/Mono - so its not so hard for anyone to get started, except you have to learn (and I have to re-learn) interfacing through 'primitive' means to analog, digital inputs etc
you're never to old to learn, and all of the MCU's have a getting started package - so wether you start by lighting up an LED or rotating a servo, get into it

I don't know what's useful to learn to work on robot... I guess I should look at job add and make a plan from there!!
Well I did wrote my own neuron network in C#!

Arduino and Raspberry PI are part of my fun time now. I program the Arduino in C from my Raspberry PI and do some Python on the Raspberry PI. The level of devotion of your spare time and toy money are large. Jeremy Blum has some good tutorials on You Tube. A lot of my toy budget has gone into my experiments.

I think one aspect has been the prohibitive costs of classic industrial robots. Think about all the amazing things programmers could do if we just had the ability to play with these!
When it comes to more android like robots I think one aspect is because 1, people think its super complicated and 2, you need to work with a lot of hardware. You need components and then you need multiple parts to be able to build a more advanced robot, and to be able to do something you need to construct and program all these. Say you just want to build a simple walker you need to invest a lot of time to succeed here, then when you want to do something more you may have to reevaluate your design.
But I think its easier if you take another approach, build more drone like robots with specific purposes.
I for one would love to delve in to drone/robot development but I lack the time and focus at the moment. Got too many pure software projects I wish to do first.
Sometime I plan on learning enough circuitry and electronics to be able to put together my own drones because I got a lot of ideas I wish to test out.
One thing I wish to try is to use sensors/cameras to read the surrounding, input this in a 3d engine to create a virtual representation of the area and basically just use game ai and pathfinding to navigate around.
Sadly there are too many things I lack knowledge wise atm to test my designs even thou I'm sure they would work if done correctly.
