Description

Robots for everyone, made of everything

What is a robot? If you ask this question to a random person on the street, she would certainly say that it is a structure made of expensive materials, containing complicated electronic circuits and professional software. Nothing more wrong! Do you know that you can build a simple robot even from paper? Reach for this book and start working on your first project!

The author of this handbook will prove to you that everyone can play the role of a constructor, even without advanced electronic skills. In addition, he can use various materials for this purpose. Thanks to the information contained in this book, you will build a robot powered by solar energy and one that moves thanks to vibrations. In addition, while reading the next chapters, you'll find out how to use the Arduino board to control the robot made of e-textiles. You will also learn curiosities related to 3D printing , the littleBits platform and BEAM robots. See how easy you can fulfill your dreams of building a robot!

Reading the book The construction of simple robots will allow you to construct:

• paper and rubber (pumped) robot that will move in response to your orders
• movable, stress-integral robot supporting structure driven by littleBits components
• hybrid of the wheel and legs
• a swarm of sliding robots moving through vibrations
• BEAM robot powered by solar energy, moving thanks to vibrations
• plotter making drawings using a marker pen
• robot equipped with Arduino with a body made of e-textiles
