Ask HN: Work on robotics or agents?

I'm a recent Mechanical Engineering / CS graduate working in the Sales Engineering space for a cybersecurity company.

I have an opportunity to join an early-stage robotics company in SF and work with some amazing robotics engineers. However, I've also been building security-related agents/workflows in my free time that have gotten the attention of some senior people at my org.

This isn't necessarily a "which one should I pick?" but rather where you all see both of these industries going in the next decade or so. No one can predict the future, but would love to hear thoughts from people way more experienced than me in either field.

Thanks!
