This document provides an introduction to robotics and microcontrollers like Arduino. It defines a robot as a device that can substitute for humans in places they cannot access, and lists common types as industrial automatons, humanoids, and AI bots. The document explains that robots work by sensing their environment, processing the situation, searching for rules to manipulate it, executing rules, and surviving changing conditions via a microcontroller brain. It provides examples of microcontroller manufacturers and describes the Arduino open-source hardware and software platform. Finally, it gives a basic line-following robot example to illustrate robot programming concepts.

2. ROBOT
WHAT IS A ROBOT?
A ROBOT IS A DEVICE USED FOR HUMAN
SUBSTITUTION AND ENTERTAINMENT BY HUMANS
IN PLACES WHERE HUMANS POSSIBLY CANNOT
ACCESS IN PERSON
TYPES OF ROBOTS:
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATONS
HUMANOIDS
AI BOTS
BASIC PROTOTYPES
3. HOW ROBOTS WORK?
SENSE THE ENVIRONMENT (INPUT)
SEE THE SITUATION (PROCESSING)
SEARCH FOR ADAPTATION RULE (MANIPULATION)
EXECUTE COMPLIED RULE (EXECUTION/OUTPUT)
SURVIVE CONDITIONS (CYCLE BACK)
THIS PROCESS IS CARRIED OUT BY
MICROPROCESSOR PLACED IN THE
MICROCONTROLLER OF THE ROBOT
HENCE THE MICROCONTROLLER IS CALLED AS
BRAIN OF ROBOT
5. What is Arduino?
Physical computing
platform
Open source
Hardware Abstracted
Wiring Language
USB programmable
Large community
Inexpensive (Rs.1300/-
)
18. Lets consider an example
Line follower
What it does?
It follows a line either black in white surface or white
in black surface
How?
It uses IR sensor to analyze the color of the path and
follows the algorithm/program fed to it
19. Working (tracing of white path)
IR searches reflection
The direction from which the reflected light comes is
provided to the m.p
M.p delivers command to m.c
M.c by differential drive turns the robot towards that
direction
And vice versa for black line tracing
23. What you need to be a robot creator n
enthusiasist!...
Lots of interest and dedication
Basic electronics
Some knowledge in digital electronics
Keen observation for picking mechanisms from daily
life
To be unique you need to be different
And also a purse with money
