My general piece of advice to anyone looking to do this is not to even bother. Just strip the hardware package and replace it with an arduino/bb or an equivalent sbc figure out what the motors are and wire it up yourself. Way faster and less tedious

This is perhaps more of a Maker perspective. I think the article author's approach (What you might classify as embedded engineer) is more suitable broadly. These are categorizations without a fine line, but are IME useful for clustering approaches and preferences.

For another example of an adjacent non-obvious clustering, see embedded vs robotics; they don't have as much overlap as you might guess!
