C10M21 – Modular Assemblable Robotic System

€ 1Register

Intro

SMARS acronym of “Screwless/Screwed Modular Assemblable Robotic System” is a simple robot designed to the educational field. The main features of SMARS are the reduced number of components, the possibility of mount it without screws and without soldering any part, it doesn’t need glue or similar and it’s really cheap to build. Another main point of SMARS is the modular design. You can mount different sensors and tools and design your own parts.

This module is complete English language and mainly contains collected information from the internet. The original project can be found on Cults and here.

Planning

This module will probably take you about 4 – 6 uur.

Results

In this module, you will learn the basics of robotics. During the theory, you will receive a short presentation about the history of robotics and then you will analyze the functioning of the various components of the SMARS. Simplified operation of the battery, motors, microcontroller, motor driver, and main sensors will be explained.
In the practical part, you will print, program, assemble and test your own SMARS.

Syllabus

• Lessons

  • C10M21L1 – Robots

    So what exactly is a robot? This actually turns out to be a rather difficult question.

  • C10M21L2 – Robot components

    In this lesson we will have a closer look at the electronic parts of a robot.

• Questions

  • C10M21V1 – Questions

    Answer a few questions about the content of the lessons.

• Assignments

  • C10M21O1 – Building SMARS

    In this assignment / lesson you’ll building your SMARS. You’ll have to print the parts, assemble them, connect the electronics, upload a sketch and test/tweek your robot. Along the way you’ll also learn a bit about Arduino libraries. Have fun.
