Can a Electrical Engineer work with robots or should i gor more for a degree in Mechatronical Engineering or Electronic Engineering? I have 2 options of university here in my country but one only have Electrcial Engineering and the other have separate degrees of Mechatronics E or Electronic E.
 
Depends on what part of the robot you want to work on and to what level of detail. That being said, there is a focus within Mechanical Engineering call Mechatronics; check to see if your university offers it as an area of focus.
