Part 1: Selecting the Right Components for Your Robots

This part gives an introduction to robotics and provides a detailed overview of the Arduino Uno board and the Arduino IDE, its setup, and key features. In addition, you will learn about the various types of sensors that you can use to let your Arduino robots perceive the world, their interfaces, and how to use them. This part also covers many types of electric actuators, from RC servos to powerful BLDC motors, that you can use to make your robots move. And finally, it gives you the knowledge you need to select the right Arduino board for your projects.

This part has the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, Introducing Robotics and the Arduino Ecosystem
• Chapter 2, Making Robots Perceive the World with Sensors
• Chapter 3, Making Your Robot Move and Interact with the World with Actuators
• Chapter 4, Selecting the Right Arduino Board for Your Project
