A few years ago, much of the content you have covered in this course would have been discussed exclusively in research laboratories, but robots have now shifted firmly from science …
In this step you will investigate how a line sensor operates and how it detects a line. I will be using the TCRT5000 IR sensor as my example, but the …
This week you will be attaching a line sensor to your buggy and turning it into a line-following robot. This type of robot is very popular with beginner roboticists, as …
Your robot buggy will use an ultrasonic distance sensor (UDS) to help it navigate the physical world. In this step, you’ll look at how these work. Ultrasound A UDS uses …
So far this week you have been exploring how robots sense the world around them. In this step you are going to look at why it benefits robots to sense …
Robots, particularly autonomous ones, need to sense the world around them. In this step, I will take you through a few of the many options available to add sensing to …
Now that you have the motors set up, it’s time to design a chassis — the physical frame of your vehicle. Your buggy will need a chassis onto which you …
Robots are able to sense and interact with the environment through a wide range of components. So that a robot can make decisions and perform actions, it uses a processor …
In this step you will start by connecting the motors to the motor controller board, before connecting the battery holder to the motor controller. The instructions are for a L298N …
