Course Description
In this course we are going to teach you from the basics of robotics to building your own robot. 10-20 years ago Robots used to be only in the research institutes & factories, but nowadays robots are in common use in various applications. Even in our households, doing different tasks such as cleaning the floors.
So learning robotics from early on is a great investment for the future.
We are starting all the way from basic electronics, programming and moving towards robot motion and a bit into control systems & IoT as well. These are few of the most sought after skills in the world today.
At the end we are going to teach you how to build several wheeled robots such as,
Line follower
Obstacle avoid robot
Bluetooth Control robot
To effectively follow the practical of this course you need to have a magicbot robot kit with a magicbit development board. But you can build your own robot as well using a generic esp32 board and external components, we will include a guide for that as well.
Course is conducted by magicbit, an STEM education company which develops hardware and software tools to enable easy access for innovation, in collaboration with Migara Amithodana, an industrial veteran with years of experience.

I have an Electrical Engineering Associate Degree. I fell in love with the electronics part of the course and I've been dabbling with arduinos and small projects at home. So far this course is the exact intermediate electronics learning I've been looking for

I am having trouble understanding the speaker. I'm especially distracted by his repeated used of a word that sounds to me like " I U D' systems" or your "I U D" journey". I have done several internet searches for words or acronyms related to robotics that may sound like this but I come up short. it's distracting me from learning the concepts which are all new to me. I wish there were subtitles so I could simply know what these new words are I'm trying to learn

interesting so far
By Pattiya Silva on 5/20/2023
I suggest including some basic Arduino programing guide to this course. Its bit difficult to comprehend without prior knowledge of Arduino programing.
By Kosal Kouch on 12/27/2022
It is pretty good. However, some explanation doesn't visualize. I am a visual learner, so it makes me nonsense at some points. I hope trainer should improve the explanation with more visualization not only this course, but other courses.
By Ali Khan on 5/14/2022
I love it. He is absolutely amazing. Stunning explanation of robotics and all the different types. I cant personally see anything wrong with this course at all.
