I am just finishing my MS in Mechanical Engineering, and have really tried to orient my knowledge to include programming and electronics, I'd really like to get into the field of robotics as a career.
How did you get into Autonomous research?
I would love to do research at a place like MIT, Carnegie, or Berkeley's biomimetics lab. However I've only just got a 3.5gpa, and I wasn't exactly groomed since childhood for this career. Would I really stand any sort of chance trying to apply for a PhD/research-fellowship at universities researching this?

Also, what kind of autonomy do you work on?
I'm fascinated by legged stability problems. :D
