Thanks to the Facebook page for the Coursera robotics class, I just discovered a blog that includes a nice, ongoing tutorial on building an arduino based robot. the blog is by Miguel Grinberg, and so far he’s published 6 parts in his tutorial:
- Part I: Hardware Components
- Part II: Programming the Arduino
- Part III: Assembling the Robot
- Part IV: A (Not So) Basic Robot Firmware
- Part V: Avoiding Obstacles
- Part VI: Remote Control
