INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS AND

MICROCONTROLLERS(ARDUINOES)

ROBOT

WHAT IS A ROBOT?A ROBOT IS A DEVICE USED FOR HUMAN

SUBSTITUTION AND ENTERTAINMENT BY HUMANS IN PLACES WHERE HUMANS POSSIBLY CANNOT ACCESS IN PERSON

TYPES OF ROBOTS:INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATONSHUMANOIDSAI BOTSBASIC PROTOTYPES

HOW ROBOTS WORK?

SENSE THE ENVIRONMENT (INPUT)SEE THE SITUATION (PROCESSING)SEARCH FOR ADAPTATION RULE (MANIPULATION)EXECUTE COMPLIED RULE (EXECUTION/OUTPUT)SURVIVE CONDITIONS (CYCLE BACK) THIS PROCESS IS CARRIED OUT BY

MICROPROCESSOR PLACED IN THE MICROCONTROLLER OF THE ROBOT

HENCE THE MICROCONTROLLER IS CALLED AS BRAIN OF ROBOT

MICROPROCESSORS

MANUFACTURERS:INTEL ATMELZIGOSMOTOROLAPHILIPSHUAWEI

Lets consider an example

Line followerWhat it does?It follows a line either black in white surface

or white in black surfaceHow?It uses IR sensor to analyze the color of the

path and follows the algorithm/program fed to it

Working (tracing of white path)

IR searches reflectionThe direction from which the reflected light

comes is provided to the m.pM.p delivers command to m.c M.c by differential drive turns the robot

towards that directionAnd vice versa for black line tracing

You can convert toys into robots

What you need to be a robot creator n enthusiasist!...

Lots of interest and dedicationBasic electronicsSome knowledge in digital electronicsKeen observation for picking mechanisms

from daily lifeTo be unique you need to be different

And also a purse with money
