Part 3: Building the Hardware, Electronics, and UI of Your Robot

This part focuses on showing you how to build mobile robots completely from scratch using basic materials and tools, modern CAD, and 3D printing. It also covers the fundamentals of laying out the electrical power system of your robots, which distribute the power from the batteries to all their components safely. In this part, we also cover UI elements such as light, sound, and displays to make your robots more interactive. And finally, you will learn how to add wireless interfaces to your robot, for example, to control it from your phone using Bluetooth.
