Building A Robot from the Ground Up Training Course
In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to build a robot using Arduino hardware and the Arduino (C/C++) language for government applications.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Build and operate a robotic system that integrates both software and hardware components
- Understand key concepts in robotic technologies
- Assemble motors, sensors, and microcontrollers into a functional robot
- Design the mechanical structure of a robot for government use
Audience
- Developers
- Engineers
- Hobbyists
Format of the Course
- Part lecture, part discussion, with exercises and extensive hands-on practice
Note
- Hardware kits will be specified by the instructor before the training, but will generally include the following components:
- Arduino board
- Motor controller
- Distance sensor
- Bluetooth module
- Prototyping board and cables
- USB cable
- Vehicle kit
- Participants will need to purchase their own hardware.
