How to Make a Robot - Lesson 6: Controlling Your Robot

@shaikh ramiz You essentially want a humanoid robot with voice recognition. Start with a microcontroller and a voice module, and worry about the robot’s shape later. If you are new to programming and robotics, we suggest starting with Arduino (hardware and software).

Hi Coleman,i am looking for a communication device that signal could penetrate water for my AUV project. Need to attach with my arduino uno and wireless control by smartphone using android app…What device is suitable for control AUV in water up to 10ft max and min 5ft ?

@Raj505 There is not much which can penetrate water. An RF signal only goes about 1m deep. This is why most ROVs are tethered.

I always dreaming I make a robot that have feelings. Can I programs a robot to have personality or emotions like happy and sad in the microcontroller?

@Irfan04 You certainly can. We currently have the Reeti which is an expressive robot: https://www.robotshop.com/en/robopec-en.html

Which rpm motor should I use to make a 1 kg robot? And plz the type of motor also. Thanks

Plz tell me the rpm of motor you used in your bot

@Tushar It’s less about the rpm and more about the torque. Input whatever known values you can here to get the rpm and torque needed: https://www.robotshop.com/blog/en/drive-motor-sizing-tool-9698

@Tushar The RobotShop Rover used this motor (78 rpm): https://www.robotshop.com/en/solarbotics-gm9-gear-motor-9.html

Hey
Which control did you used.
How to use RF control kindly tell me in detail.
Thanks

How to use RF control . Kindly tell me in detail.
How much which motor would be best to carry 5kg load.
Thanks

@Tushar We cannot go into details of a setup here - it’s best to do some research online by either looking at product descriptions or specific tutorials. We invite you to create a new post on the RobotShop forum with details of what you would like to accomplish.

@Tushar Regarding the load, try the following tool: https://www.robotshop.com/blog/en/drive-motor-sizing-tool-9698

Do I need all (microcontroller, motorcontroller, transmitter and reciever) for a RF wireless control. How to connect reciever with microcontroller and how to setup a remote with a transmitter. Thanks for your replies.

@Tushar For a normal RC setup, you don’t need a microcontroller. A microcontroller is used mainly when you want to automate a process.

So it means that I have to connect reciever with motorcontroller. How to use transmitter as a remote.

@Tushar If you need semi-autonomous behavior then yes, you will need to connect the receiver to the microcontroller. However, if you only want / need the project to be RC, then you might not need a microcontroller at all.
