How to get started in robotics?

Question

Arduino

Habr's articles in the DIY section interested me in various smart home systems, robots, arduino and other things, but the trouble is - I don't know where to start. and also what level of knowledge in electrical engineering is necessary, physics has always been difficult. What can you advise? literature, resources, I will be glad to everything.

Answer 1

I recommend the resource - www.easyelectronics.ru respected DiHalt
- there is a section for beginners - easyelectronics.ru/category/nachinayushhim - we.easyelectronics.ru
community with blogs - forum.easyelectronics.ru forum - and a bunch of entertaining articles for almost all occasions .

Answer 2

It is necessary to take arduino / STM / ... download software and start "blinking the LED". Reading habr, the aforementioned easyelectronics, and a whole bunch of instructions, guides, forums - move forward. Repeat, remake, invent your own. As you study, you will immediately find problematic topics for yourself in physics, programming, electronics, and mechanics. In your case, a practical approach is needed, since the mere study of theory will confuse and discourage desire. But if, after a couple of sleepless nights, your miracle thing, assembled on your knee, starts working, then there will be a desire to delve into the theory of pn transitions for miracle thing-2.
In general, try to do something, and you will be happy. If I can write books, software, links - now I'm just on the phone. Yes, and the biggest problem in learning is ignorance of English, it is in it that there are a lot of tasty and healthy things.

Answer 3

Along with the implementation of other recommendations, it would be worthwhile to get away from using the dissonant word "robotics", on which the tongue stumbles, and return to the once widespread word introduced by its author, Isaac Asimov - "robotics".

There are a lot of questions on the toaster, look, maybe you will find something, also look for arduino, robot, smart home and so on.

Answer 5

A simple BEAM robot, for example, is now taught to design and assemble here . A little, ahem, with a scratch they talk about the beginnings of electronics, but I, for example, no longer turn on LEDs without resistors)).

Answer 6

Read the articles on RoboCraft - maybe you can look at the project that you want to do;)

Answer 7

universarium.org/courses/main/326 here is quite a base-base for electronics.
And somewhere on the Toaster there was already such a question a few months ago, look, all of a sudden there is something interesting there.

Answer 8

Read Amperka 's wiki, mostly based on Arduino, but articles and video tutorials in Russian are very high quality
