New to Rust, want to know what to focus on for AI and Robotics

I've learned the basics of Rust (ownership, borrowing, structs, enums, error handling with Result). Now I want to use Rust for two things:

  1. AI / machine learning
  2. Robotics (Arduino, ESP32, and eventually more advanced hardware)

I don't want to study random parts of Rust that I'll never use for these two goals. I'd rather know the specific concepts, crates (libraries), or areas to go deep on for each one, and skip what's not relevant.

Can anyone who has done AI or robotics/embedded work in Rust point me toward:

  • What to learn next after the basics
  • Which crates/libraries are actually used for this in real projects
  • Any common beginner mistakes or wasted time to avoid

Thank you!
