Welcome to the fascinating world of robotics! If you've always wanted to build and pilot a robotic arm, you've come to the right place. “Exploring Robotics with Arduino: Piloting a Six Degrees of Freedom Robot Arm” is a detailed guide that will take you through a journey full of discovery, combining theory and practice to bring your own robotic arm to life.

Course Content:

Essential Theory; Before getting into the details of hands-on projects, you will gain a solid understanding of the theory behind piloting a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. You will learn the fundamental concepts of kinematics and control needed to make your robot move accurately.
Practical Projects; Fourteen hands-on projects will show you how to pilot a robotic arm, and in particular:
Bluetooth Control: Using the Bluetooth module, you will learn how to pilot the robotic arm via an app on your smartphone or tablet. This project will introduce you to remote control and wireless communication.
PCA9685 Control Board Piloting: With this control board, you will explore new possibilities for movement and precision in piloting the robotic arm. You will learn how to configure and use the PCA9685 to achieve smooth and precise movements.
PS2 Controller: Using a PS2 controller, you will bring your robotic arm under your command. This project will show you how to interface the PS2 controller with Arduino for intuitive and immediate control of your robot.
Video-Projects: Each project is accompanied by a detailed video that will guide you step-by-step through the process of building and piloting your robotic arm. Links at the end of each tutorial will allow you to easily access the videos and related codes used.
Use of Processing: We will use Processing to create graphical representations of the robot's movements, making learning even more engaging and providing a visual understanding of the theoretical concepts.

The new Course is dedicated to an extraordinary robotic tooling that has applications in so many fields, from the automotive industry to pharmaceuticals, storage, etc., and that is the "Robotic Arm" or also called in English "Robot Arm." Obviously, for our studies, we will use a "simplified" robotic arm for educational purposes, but this does not detract from the fact that its functionality and programming logic is quite similar to industrial-type robotic arms.

Conclusions:

With “Exploring Robotics with Arduino: Piloting a Six Degrees of Freedom Robot Arm,” you will not only learn how to build and pilot a robotic arm, but you will also gain a solid knowledge base that will allow you to further explore the world of robotics and automation. Whether you are a curious beginner or an electronics expert looking for new challenges in robotics, this book will be your guide into the world of robotics with Arduino.
