Robotics for Beginners

What is Arduino?

Arduino is a microcontroller suitable for hardware prototyping. A microcontroller is like a brain. Process input and send output.

The microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit that contains the processor core, memory, and programmable I / O peripherals.

With mini controller such as Arduino, you can control the circuit, LED, and much more.

About Course

Robotics is on the way to becoming part of every single domain of industry and also have started moving from industry to the personal life of humans. Starting from being used in manufacturing industries for niche applications, Robots are now being used in educational, cleaning, household, food delivery, surveillance, and many other applications.

This robotics online course takes the learner from scratch of Robotics to getting started with building Robotics applications with Arduino Uno Programmable board. This course is designed for absolute beginners having no knowledge of Robotics and hardware to help them get a platform to get started with programming, understanding the electronics and the concepts of the Robotics and Arduino programming.

The course helps a learner to understand interfacing of LEDs, motors, working with Pulse Width Modulation with a great video tutorial and documentation in detail. This course also takes through the understanding of Bluetooth, serial communication and locomotion control.

This is a must course, to begin with, Robotics for Undergraduates and Postgraduates and school students to start with a good science project.
