Course Description

"Tell me, and I forget. Teach me, and I remember. Involve me, and I learn."
- Benjamin Franklin
I have designed this Arduino project course as an opportunity for you to get deep into the messy details of understanding, designing and constructing a simple yet infinitely extensible wheeled robot.
From figuring out what the robot is supposed to do, to selecting the right parts, configuring them, assembling them and testing them, all the way to producing a refined outcome, this project emphasises the iterative process of problem-solving.
By the end of the course, you will have created an Arduino wheeled robot that can navigate towards a light source and avoid obstacles along the way, on its own. But more than that, by the end of the course you will have become a better problem solver. You will have experience in analysing problems and designing solutions. You will be able to integrate simple mechanical parts with motors, batteries, sensors and other electronics.
The ideal student for this course is someone who has completed Arduino Step by Step Getting Started or has a good basic level of understanding of the Arduino. You already know how to write simple sketches and wire components in a breadboard. Although I will be showing the robot building process in great detail, having a basic level understanding of the Arduino will make this project a lot more enjoyable for you.
I invite you to review the free lectures in the first section of the course to find out more details about it.
If you are excited about becoming a Maker with the Arduino, join many other Makers and me in Make an Arduino Robot!
I look forward to learning with you!Who this course is for:
  • Arduino Makers looking for a challenging but rewarding project
  • Graduates of Arduino Step by Step Getting Started
  • Makers who want to improve their understanding of motors, sensors, system design

I am an Engineer, interested in new skills.

By Phillip H McCary III

I believe this class will deliver what I am looking for: a Fun Robot platform that I can expand.

By Shreeram Choudhury

Great mentor .value 4 money.

By Audrey Swiatocha

It's still only an introduction to what we will be learning. Essentially, all we've done is go over the syllabus. I'm an aerospace engineering student who has to wait another year to take this type of course, but I want this information now for an undergrad research project I will start working on next month. The material we've covered so far in this course lets me know that the first few lessons are probably not going to challenge me the way they might challenge another student. However, eventually, we will get to the sections that are more relevant to my needs.

By Stephen Hohm

I appreciate the clear explanations of the components, theory, and wiring.

By Roger Routsong

The step-by-step explanation is valuable.

By Gene Roliff

Thorough, clear explanations

By Valerij Kudryavtsev

Курс весьма качественный. Полностью и подробно раскрывает заявленную тематику. Дает идеи для дальнейшего развития сделанного проекта. Ставлю высшую оценку.
