Make an Arduino-Controlled Robot

Make a robot that obeys your every command—or runs on its own.

Maybe you’re a teacher who wants to show students how to build devices that can move, sense, respond, and interact with the physical world. Or perhaps you’re a hobbyist looking for a robot companion to make your world a little more futuristic. With Make an Arduino Controlled Robot, you’ll learn how to build and customize smart robots on wheels.

You will:

• Explore robotics concepts like movement, obstacle detection, sensors, and remote control
• Use Arduino to build two- and four-wheeled robots
• Put your robot in motion with motor shields, servos, and DC motors
• Work with distance sensors, infrared reflectance sensors, and remote control receivers
• Understand how to program your robot to take on all kinds of real-world physical challenges
