🤖 Make an Arduino Robot: Your Journey into Autonomous Robotics 🤖

Course Headline:

"An autonomous light-seeking, obstacle-avoiding robot for Arduino Makers who want to learn the hard way."

Introduction:

"Tell me, and I forget. Teach me, and I remember. Involve me, and I learn." – Benjamin Franklin
This quote encapsulates the essence of our Arduino robotics course. It's not just about following instructions; it's about diving into the world of microcontrollers, sensors, and machine learning to create something truly yours.

What You'll Learn:

• Theory to Practice: Understand the principles behind the robot's functionality, from light detection to obstacle avoidance algorithms.
• Component Selection: Choose the right parts for your robot, ensuring they work in harmony and meet the requirements of your project.
• Hands-On Assembly: Assemble your robot with care, soldering components and connecting them with precision.
• Testing & Troubleshooting: Put your robot through its paces, diagnosing and fixing issues that arise during testing.
• Refinement & Iteration: Refine your design based on real-world feedback and performance, learning from each iteration to enhance functionality.

Course Outline:

1. Introduction to the Project: Understanding the robot's goals and how it will operate in its environment.
2. Selecting the Components: A detailed guide on what you need to build your robot, including sensors, motors, power sources, and more.
3. Assembling Your Robot: Step-by-step instructions on assembling your robot, with close-up images and explanations.
4. Programming the Arduino: Learn how to write the code necessary for the robot to navigate towards light and avoid obstacles.
5. Testing & Debugging: Implementing the iterative process of testing, observing the outcomes, and making adjustments to your design.
6. Advanced Techniques: Exploring more complex ideas such as machine learning algorithms to improve performance.
7. Final Project: Bringing everything together to create a fully functional light-seeking, obstacle-avoiding robot.
