Easy to use The Arduino micro controller can be easily removed from the robot, and it is placed on the prototyping board so that you can program to your heart's content.

Arduino boards are inexpensive and relatively easy to use devices with support for a range of sensors and motors. Now there’s an official Arduino Robot kit which makes it even easier to get started.

Fortunately, Arduino boards are programmable from a Linux, Mac or Windows machine, using an integrated development environment (IDE), downloadable from here, or from the Arduino web editor.

To start off, the robot was taken apart enough to expose the circuit board. There he found a ST1155A bi-directional motor driver that was controlled by an on-board microcontroller.

For $30, Intel's Arduino 101 board provides an easy path for makers to build a wearable computer, a mini-robot or a smart appliance for the home.

Arduino boards are also ideal for hardware-centric projects as they're typically set up in places where wall outlets are inaccessible — think mobile robots, smart wearables, and bird feeders.

There are plenty of Arduino-based robots in the world, but actually building one is a bit tough if you're not familiar with Arduino programming. But a company called ArcBotics has created an ...

There are a million tutorials out there for building a robot with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, but they all suffer from the same problem: neither the ‘duino nor the Raspi are fully integrated ...
