This document provides an overview of college robotics projects. It discusses the main applications of robots in industry and outlines the primary sections of robotics projects, including mechanical, electronics, and coding. As an example exercise, it describes a DIY mobile robot project where the robot must transport a toy car between two points. The document then goes into further detail on the mechanical components like the chassis and manipulators, as well as electronics components like sensors and power supply. It provides information on coding topics such as algorithms and integrating functions. The document outlines the process for designing, building, and testing a robot, involving brainstorming sessions, dividing tasks among mechanical, electronics, and coding teams, and debugging solutions.

team)

24. Coding
• Decision of controller selection
• Formation of basic functions required and
testing of the same
• Coordination with electronics team for coding
inputs and solutions

25. Brainstorming session
