Course Description

Have you always wanted to build a robot, but weren't sure how to get started? This course will take you step-by-step through the build process. Each section of the course includes lessons, assembly videos, sketches and demos. You will be able to show off your new obstacle avoidance robot based on the Arduino Uno by the end of the course.

Audience

This course is for anyone with an interest in Arduino and robotics. Students will get to assemble, code and test a functioning obstacle avoiding robot. It is recommended that you write some basic sketches using the Arduino Uno so you become familiar with the platform.

What you will learn:

How the Arduino Uno works
How bipolar junction transistors work
How an H-Bridge works
How the Arduino motor shield works
How DC motors are constructed and work
How DC motor speed control works
How servos work
How LEDs and photodiodes work
How infrared and ultrasonic sensors work
How the Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F Distance Measuring Sensor works
How the Parallax PING Ultrasonic Distance Sensor works
Obstacle avoidance algorithms
How to assemble the robot components
How to write sketches to test the drive system, servo, and sensors

What am I going to get from this course?

You will understand how motor drive system components work
You will be able to build a mobile robot that implements DC motor speed control
You will understand how IR sensors work
You will understand how ultrasonic sensors work
You will be able to write sketches to test a robot drive system and robot sensors
You will be able to write sketches to test obstacle avoidance using an IR or ultrasonic sensor
You will be able to modify the robot or build a more advanced one

What are the requirements?

You will need to install the latest version of Arduino IDE
Purchase the materials listed in the Arduino OAR Materials List
Experiment with some example sketches to get a feel for the Arduino programming environment

What am I going to get from this course?

Build a functioning Arduino based obstacle avoidance robot that detects obstacles via an ultrasonic or IR sensor

Who is the target audience?

This course is for anyone interest in learning about Arduino and robotics. No prior electronics or coding background is necessary but it is suggested that you experiment with some example Arduino sketches to become familiar with the Arduino Uno and software environment.
