Chapter 5, Designing ChefBot Hardware and Circuits

1. It is the process for finding proper robot hardware components for the robot that is meeting the robot desired specification. It also involves circuit designing and computing the current flow of each components in order to ensure the stability of the robot components.
2. It’s a switching circuit to control the direction and speed of an electric motor.
3. The main components are wheel encoder to compute wheel velocity and laser range finder or depth sensor to detect the obstacle around the robot.
4. We need to check whether it meets the specification of the robot.
5. Mapping, obstacle detection, object detection, and tracking.
