Robotics

A robot senses its surroundings, decides what to do, and acts. Robotics brings together electronics, mechanics and programming.

The three parts of every robot

  • Sense: sensors such as distance, light, line and touch.
  • Think: a controller running your code.
  • Act: motors, servos and other outputs that move things.

Beginner builds

  • Obstacle-avoiding car
  • Line-following robot
  • Simple robotic arm with servos

You’ll need a little electronics and some programming. Both have their own sections here.
