Robotics does not necessarily need to be expensive - the more you learn, the more “fundamental” you can get; purchasing components rather than completed boards. You can also scavenge parts from old or “junk” electronics, toys etc, including sensors, motors and more. A lot of information can be learned online, and you can start learning to code for free. If you’re really interested, start saving any money you get for more expensive parts.
Hi.It’s really happy can found this high quality website today.
I’m 18 years old and I’m studying in a Computer Technology University.
I really love to build a robot by myself but I don’t know the field at all yet.
My course is nearly begin and i don’t know what professional to choose in order for further into automaton field in the future.(These are those professional)
(√)1:Information Technology(including:[Syestems Security],[Intelligent Systems],[Mobile Technology])
(√)2:Software Engineering.
(√)3.Computer Games Development.
(√)4.Multimedia Technology.
(X)5.Engineering(Including:[Electrical&Electronic Engineering],[Mechatronic Engineering])
There is a problem here I can’t choose Engineering professional because i don’t have my physics transcript from high school and I can’t get that anymore.
So if i cant choose Engineering how can I learn robotic knowledge in the mean while I study my professional?
Where to start it?
I hope can give me some suggestion from here. Thanks.
Physics is certainly very important if you want to proceed with mechanical / electrical / robotic engineering. However, a very marketable field which you may be able to study in would be programming / software / computer science. The focus would likely not be on physical robots, but with a bit of learning on your own, your robotic creations would be far more capable / intelligent.
I really enjoyed the lesson bot the problem is I really want to know how it is really made, like the software of it and the most important components of it. Thanks a lot for the lesson sir
So I start to learn physics!!
but what kind of physics I choose to learn?
And when is the end?
That will be one of the objectives of the series. Software should be covered in lesson 4 (along with with flight controller), and all the parts needed to build the copter in lessons 2 to the end.
You would need to cover physics up to the high school level (concepts such as Torque and basic material properties and designs). Once you get to the university / college level, the courses become more specific, such as mechanisms, thermodynamics etc.
This is helping me a lot with a project
Happy to help. Feel free to show off the robot and your progress via the RobotShop Support Center.
im intrested in building robots im wondering if there is a app where you can build it in 3d on your computer please tell me if there is
There are many 3D CAD programs which you can use to build a robot. Most manufacturers do not release 3D CAD models of their products, meaning you will need to draw them yourself. Try a program like Google Sketcup (free).
I AM JUST 15, BECOMING AN EXPERT IN ROBOTIC ENGINEERING IS MY CHILDHOOD DREAM.
SO,PLEASE SUGGEST ME A PATHWAY TO MY FUTURE.
Robotics is becoming its own field of study, so you can try robotics. If you want something more general, consider an engineering field: mechanical, electrical, computer, or programming / software. A university degree is best if possible.
thnks for ur robotics explanation
Hi I am looking to make my home made robot with just some thing around the house. What I have Is a motor with a solar panel and it works. I was seeing if you could tell me some tips or give me a website that can help me with ,this it would really help me. If you don’t it is okay but please help because I have made my first invitation, Witch is a solar powered fan. I would like to start this so later I could make some cool robot that could help people in there home’s.( I’m only 11 and I can do this stuff at this age.)
hey what would i need to make my own robot for home and how much would the stuff cost
Happy to help, but via the RobotShop Blog is not the best place. Feel free to create a new topic on the RobotShop Forum (https://www.robotshop.com/forum/), indicating what you have and what you want to do.
@doug, It depends on what you want the robot to do. This series of lessons gives you an overview to help you figure out which components you would need.
Thanks for the informations, but i’m wondering what language of programming to use
If you’re new to robotics, Arduino is becoming wildly popular. They make both the free software, and a variety of open source software.
