@ASHISH You can share your creations on letsmakerobots.com

Thanks for the guide. You mentioned in one of your earlier replies that one can read books to improve his knowledge. Can you suggest such type of books?

223

@BaleBoss There are several flavors of Arduino specific books, but for something more general to robotics, try the Robot Builder’s Bonanza 4th ed: https://www.robotshop.com/en/books.html

224

Useful!! I wanna study in university the way i can program any hardware and plug it into any machine or parts such as arms or wheels etc. and it will do what i wrote, What type of study is that?? is it software engineering or programming or computer engineering?? Thanks

225

@Mohammad Normally that would be computer engineering, but check the courses at the university you want to attend to be certain.

226

Sir,can u suggest any book to learn more deeply
I want to make a robotic arm
Please reply
Thanks

227

@M.Rajkumar A great choice: https://www.robotshop.com/en/robot-builders-bonanza-4th-edition.html?product-code=RB-Mcg-58

hi sir i am ahsan i am new here i am a university student and my course is BSCS in computer engnering but i dont know about well c++ my intrest in electrical and mechanical field well an i know about c sharpe some sir i want to work on robotics please tech me how i doing start??

229

@Ahsan You would need an idea of where you wanted to get started - mobile robotics / robot arm / general electronics etc. If you can create a new topic on the RobotShop Forum detailing what you are most interested in, as well as your budget, we would be happy to guide you to appropriate solutions.

230

pls sir i know only how to build the mechanical aspect of a robot but do not know how to programm it.i have no knowledge of programming languages,the meaning of microcontroler and a servo.

231

@chijioke Consider starting with Arduino. You can get an idea of how it works here, in the following series: https://www.robotshop.com/blog/en/arduino-5-minute-tutorials-lesson-1-software-3640

232

Sir, can I make a robot with a sensor that can detect a human/ living thing? Can I use a thermal sensor? if so, will it not be expensive to buy one?

233

Thanks for giving nice knowledge but please give the fully source code for robot program and also give complete discription by mechanically that how we makes robot without any help of any tutorial

234

@King Caleb Provided the “living thing” generates heat, you can use an infrared sensor / camera. A thermal camera is quite expensive.

235

@pihu pateriya These articles are not meant to be product specific. If you need a complete list of parts and code, you should be considering a robot kit, not a custom robot. You can find robot kits here: https://www.robotshop.com/en/robot-kits.html

236

I WANT BE A PORPULAR PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO HAVE DESIRE TO PERFORM SOME WONDERFULL TASK THAT NOBODY CREATED THE TYPE BEFORE.

237

Sir, we have been using arduino and C programming for our 4 wheel robot. But our goal is to make an autonomous robot equipped with camera, GPS, and sonar sensor. All the data from sensors need to be integrated which requires complex mathematical calculations. Which programming language support such calculations in real time?

238

@MUSTAPHA LAWAL Your next step is to come up with that “wonderful idea”.

239

@Kevin It depends on the level of complexity of the image you need to process. For example the CMUCam can process basic images and colors, but anything more complex needs a full PC. Most mobile PCs (single board computers) run Linux, so you’d need to find a program that is Python compatible. R.O.S. might be a good option.

I am interested in robotics so I need ur help.
