Robotics on Arduino. Olympiad Course

The book is written for novice constructors and radio enthusiasts who wish to learn how to design and build robots. It will help quickly navigate the path from the first robot assembly to confident performance, for example, at a school Olympiad. It provides an accelerated course for a beginner robot developer with step-by-step instructions and video tutorials, dozens of proven techniques and exercises. Arduino boards and the most in-demand modules are detailed: line and distance sensors, motor drivers, encoders, servo drives, power supplies, stabilizers, and I/O expanders. Recommendations for selecting and assembling a basic wheeled platform are given.

Separate sections are dedicated to equipment testing and typical failures, quick diagnosis algorithms. The software part leads from elementary operations to complex scenarios: reading sensors, controlling drives, "smart" delays, calibration, movement along a line with a regulator, working with intersections and object manipulation. The schematic part of the book explains the requirements of ESKD and shows correct schematics. A separate module of the book is an educational program for educators.

The book is primarily aimed at educators and teams that need a compact, reliable training program for competitions - from theory to practical victory. It will also be interesting for technical creativity clubs, DIY enthusiasts, and a wide range of readers.
