RTOS, robotics, virtual machines, bare metal games. Or move on to the GPU and pick up CUDA?

Unless you are working on firmware for the actual actuators I would argue that nowadays robotics is not that low level as OP is aiming for.
Nowadays robotics is about throwing stuff (including ROS, necessarily) in docker containers and running them on an Ubuntu 24.04 onboard the robot, and then adding GPUs and say "so that we can do AI in the future", right?

At least that's my experience :-).
