Robotics

• Robotics is the science that studies the design, construction, operation and control of robots using appropriate software. It combines electronics, mechanical engineering, and computer science. Knowledge in these diverse fields is essential for building robots. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology is also driving significant progress in the field of robotics today.
• Usually, programmable microcontroller chips act as the brains of robots. The Arduino UNO board in the robotics kit given to schools has a microcontroller called ATmega328P embedded in it. Using Arduino and its related components, we can create prototypes or miniature versions of electronic devices commonly seen around us. Let’s explore how to make such devices using the components in the robotics kit.
• Microcontroller - A microcontroller is a small computer integrated into a single chip. It contains the main components of a computer system, including the processor, RAM, ROM, and input/output interfaces, all within the microcontroller chip.
