By following the step-by-step instructions and illustrations in this book, you will be able to create robots that can:
DIY Robotics: Building Robots from Household Items is more than just a book. It is a journey of exploration and discovery that will inspire you to unleash your creativity and invent your own robots. Whether you want to make robots for fun, education, or innovation, this book will show you how to do it with simple and affordable materials.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your scissors, glue, and batteries, and let's get started!
In chapter one, you will learn what a robot is and what are the main components and functions of a robot. You will also learn about the different types of robots and their applications in various fields and domains. You will also get an overview of the history and evolution of robotics, from ancient times to the present day. You will also discover some of the challenges and opportunities that robotics poses for society and the environment.
In chapter two, you will learn how to make a robot using household items and basic tools. You will follow a general process that involves four steps: design, build, program, and test. You will also learn some tips and tricks to make your robot more efficient, reliable, and fun. You will also get an introduction to some of the common materials and components that you can use to make your robot, such as cardboard, plastic, metal, wires, batteries, motors, sensors, microcontrollers, and more. You will also see some examples of robots that you can make using these materials and components.
In chapter three, you will learn how to program a robot using a simple and user-friendly language called Scratch. You will learn the basics of Scratch, such as blocks, sprites, variables, loops, and events. You will also learn how to use Scratch to control your robot's movements, sensors, and actions. You will also see some examples of Scratch programs that you can use or modify for your own robot projects.
In chapter four, you will learn how to test and improve a robot using various methods and tools. You will learn how to debug and troubleshoot your robot's hardware and software, and how to fix common errors and problems. You will also learn how to measure and evaluate your robot's performance, and how to optimize and enhance your robot's features and functions. You will also see some examples of how to test and improve your robot's speed, accuracy, reliability, and safety.
In chapter five, you will learn how to make a robot that can navigate a maze using a cardboard box, a flashlight, and a Smartphone. You will learn how to use the Smartphone’s camera and flashlight to detect the walls and corners of the maze, and how to use the Smartphone’s accelerometer and gyroscope to measure the robot's orientation and movement. You will also learn how to use Scratch to program the robot's logic and behavior, and how to use Bluetooth to communicate between the Smartphone and the microcontroller. You will also see some examples of mazes that you can build or find, and some challenges that you can try to make your robot smarter and faster.
In chapter six, you will learn how to make a robot that can play music using a plastic bottle, a rubber band, and a microcontroller. You will learn how to use the rubber band as a string instrument, and how to control its pitch and volume using the microcontroller. You will also learn how to use Scratch to program the robot's songs and melodies, and how to use a speaker or a headphone jack to output the sound. You will also see some examples of songs that you can play or compose, and some challenges that you can try to make your robot more musical and expressive.
In chapter seven, you will learn how to make a robot that can draw shapes and patterns using a paper cup, a marker, and a servo motor. You will learn how to use the servo motor as a rotating arm, and how to control its angle and speed using the microcontroller. You will also learn how to use Scratch to program the robot's drawings and animations, and how to use a button or a sensor to trigger the robot's actions. You will also see some examples of shapes and patterns that you can draw or design, and some challenges that you can try to make your robot more artistic and interactive.
In chapter eight, you will learn how to make a robot challenge using your own ideas and creativity. You will learn how to combine and modify the skills and concepts that you have learned in the previous chapters, and how to apply them to new and different problems and situations. You will also learn how to plan, design, and document your robot challenge, and how to share it with others. You will also see some examples of robot challenges that you can try or inspire you, such as a robot race, a robot battle, a robot dance, and more.
In chapter nine, you will learn how to learn more about robotics and expand your knowledge and skills. You will learn about some of the best resources and tools that you can use to learn more about robotics, such as books, websites, videos, podcasts, courses, and more. You will also learn about some of the best communities and events that you can join or attend to meet other robot enthusiasts, such as clubs, forums, competitions, and more. You will also see some examples of how to use these resources and tools to learn more about robotics, and how to apply them to your own robot projects.
In chapter ten, you will learn how to share your robot projects with others and showcase your creativity and skills. You will learn how to document and present your robot projects, and how to use various platforms and media to share them online or offline. You will also learn how to get feedback and support from other robot enthusiasts, and how to collaborate and learn from them.
