Robotic Systems

The process of robot construction is divided into nine steps: defining a task of the robot, choose a robotic platform, selection of actuators, selecting microcontroller, motor controller, the human-machine interface, power supply, additional tools, and programming.

Defining the Task of a Robot

It is recommended that one enhance all the required knowledge about how to prepare a robot before starting. The first step is to think about a few questions such as the robot’s task, the kind of robotic competition it will be, and the good resource to get knowledge about robotics and robotic competition. This material will help one to build customized land type robot, by combining the different tools and stems of completing the assembly of a robotics system. The first thing is to understand the task since the robot can perform various tasks depending on the design and programming (Nehmzow, 2009).
