Basic Robotics Tutorials Overview. The basic robotics tutorials help you getting started writing the very first service for a robot. The tutorials take the programmer from getting input from a single sensor to control an actuator to being able to write a, drive-by-wire, application where the robot will move around. Robotics Tutorial 1 - Accessing a Service Understanding how to use services is a key to the Decentralized Software Services programming model. This tutorial starts off with how to access a service for a simple sensor. Robotics Tutorial 2 - Coordinating Services This tutorial builds on the previous tutorial and shows you how to use the input from a simple sensor and use it to control a motor service.
Robotics Tutorial 3 – Using Abstract Reusable Services This tutorial describes of a generic drive and contact service that you can apply across a variety of hardware platform and includes a simple wanderer service. Robotics Tutorial 4 – Drive-By-Wire VPL Tutorials: VPL Tutorials Overview © 2012 Microsoft Corporation. Beginners - Robotics Tutorials. How to Build a Robot Tutorial - Society of Robots. BEGINNERS:How to Build Your First Robot Tutorial Motivation | Costs | Parts | Batteries | Circuits | Sensors | Chassis | Tips If you would like to see a step-by-step robot tutorial, visit my The $50 Robot Tutorialafter reading this page. Motivation is key to success.Why build a robot? What are your motivations? Ok now that you know why you want to build a robot, lets talk about what you need to know . . . Ok I am ready, what do I need to start? Obviously the first is MONEY. Your future robots will become more affordable as you become more skilled and have more useful parts around your place.
Ok I got my bling money, now lets spend it! But first you need a design. So your first robot will have 2 wheels. So what do I need to have differential drive? Let's start with the wheels. Ok now the motors. My recommendations for your first robot motors: Voltage: 5V-8V Torque: double what you think you will need There are many websites selling DC motors. Next comes power.

Website design and hosting by NCC One of the main goals of the DPRG over the years has been to provide a forum for the exchange of robotics related information. Our ongoing education in these matters has been greatly enriched by the sharing of others. DPRG tutorials continue this tradition with explanations of robot basics including theories of operation, source code examples, and help with common problems. We like talking about robots.
