Summary

Summary:

This book will show you how to use yourĀ Arduino to control a variety of different robots, while providing step-by-step instructions on the entire robot building process. You'll learn Arduino basics as well as the characteristics of different types of motors used in robotics. You also discover controller methods and failsafe methods,Ā and learnĀ howĀ to apply them to your project. The book starts withĀ basic robots and moves into more complex projects, includingĀ a GPS-enabled robot, a robotic lawn mower, a fighting bot, and even a DIY Segway-clone. Introduction to the Arduino and other components needed for roboticsĀ Learn how to build motor controllers Build bots from simpleĀ line-following and bump-sensorĀ botsĀ toĀ more complex robotsĀ that canĀ mow your lawn, do battle,Ā or even take you for a ride What you'll learn Basics of motor-control Basics of PCB design and fabrication R/C control and decoding Autonomous sensor guidance Frame building from various materials Instructions for a variety of robot designs Who this book is for Electronics and robotics hobbyists and DIY builders.
