Getting started
Learning by building.
A first project
A microcontroller, two motors, a distance sensor and a chassis teaches sensing, control and the gap between plan and reality faster than any reading.
- Arduino and Raspberry Pi cover the low and high ends of that first step.
- ROS is the standard framework once projects grow beyond one board.
Expect the physical
Wires come loose, batteries sag under load, motors are not identical, and the floor is not flat. Half of robotics is discovering which assumption the world just violated.
