Make: Make an Arduino-Controlled Robot - Print

 Make: Make an Arduino-Controlled Robot - Building robots that sense and interact with their environment used to be tricky. Now, Arduino makes it easy. All you to get started with arduino-based robotics is a little programming experience and a keen interest in electronics.    In the initial chapters of Make: Make an Arduino-Controlled Robot, brief conceptual descriptions of the capabilities that will be implemented in the robotic software are presented. You’ll go through a step-by-step building process: assembling and controlling the motors, determining speed and direction, and attaching sensors that permit the robot to understand and interact with the environment around it.The author details two robot platforms - a 2WD robot with caster, and a 4WD skid-steer version, and includes a complete parts list.The result? A bot that can line-follow, obstacle-avoid, and roam within a defined space. It can back itself out of dead ends, and autonomously operate or be controlled by remote.Project
