Introduction to Robots & Robotics   We will start this tutorial by defining and understanding the meaning of robots and robotics. A Wikipedia definition of robot says " A robot is a mechanical contraption which can perform tasks on its own, or with guidance ". What are Robots? The term robot is derived from Czech word “robota” which means work, or forced work. Nobody has ever given a precise explanation of what a robot is, although each of those definitions more or less means the same.

The response can be locomotion or manipulation, like turning on a LED, rotating a wheel, moving an arm, raising an alarm and so on. The branch of computer science and engineering which deals with robot design, construction...

How To Build a Robot (INDEX) THIS IS A CONTENTS.TO KNOW HOW TO BUILD A ROBOT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ROBOTS FIRST.STAY TUNE!!! Welcome to this grand robot building tutorial. This massive tutorial is written to introduce you all to the world of robotics. Anybody with a basic understanding of Electricity, Electronics, Voltage, Current and a bit of common sense (we need that right?) will be able to clearly read and understand this tutorial. In this series, we will understand the different types of robots, their building techniques, materials used and everything else required to build a robot. Note: This is not a step-by-step tutorial to build a robot, but a guide to lead you into the intimidating world of robots. The tutorial covers different types of robots, sensors, actuators, their control techniques and tools required to build a robot, etc. This information will give you a fair idea on what your robot should look like, what parts to use, how to engineer and control them an...
