A large number of robots are Linux-based and use something called the Robot Operating System (ROS) https://www.ros.org/. If you’re interested in a career in robotics, becoming familiar with Linux and ROS is a great way to stand out. Open-source simulation environments such as Gazebo (http://gazebosim.org/) have loads of tutorials that you can work though which will give you experience developing robotic software. Many of the simulated sensors and robots can be operated as 'hardware-in-the-loop' which means you can swap the simulated version for the real one. This means that your virtual experience (if you don’t have the hardware) is just as good.
