I'd say to look more towards Manufacturing Systems (still an Engineering field) or Mechanical Engineering (BSME you mentioned) if you're looking into robotics from the physical hardware side. If you're looking into remote control systems to give commands to a robot, look into Computer Science. One of my buddies at work leads a Robotics team that competes yearly and the most common things you'll see there are folks interested in manufacturing (fabricating the parts), mech engineering (connecting the parts with possible further fabrication), or computer science (the coders that write the control software for the robot).
Very rarely will you see Industrial Engineering for robotics, though.
Thanks.
How well do EE and industrial engineering go together?
