Going to start college later this year trying to develop an educational roadmap with the goal of a Masters in Robotics. I was thinking about majoring in Electrical Engineering or would a different degree be more beneficial? I'm in the SF bay area FYI.
I am participating in Future Innovator's junior category for the first time with my friend.
This year's theme is "Robots Meet Culture". As it is our first time participating, we were thinking about what possibly we could make. Our initial idea is to make a hand which can help in showing puppet dance ( In India, puppet show is a part of Rajasthani Culture, it's popular btw) to the audience and as it is shown by a robot the audience will enjoy it and show interest hence, creating a social impact and enriching the culture of Rajasthan. But our main concern is making a working hand is kind of complicated plus without having enough knowledge about basic robotics, we cannot directly jump to autonomous robots.
Anyone, who has some experience in this field - what points we should focus on while creating a robot? is the hand, mentioned above will be taken as a robot? and in how can we make this prototype without complexities?
also if anybody have any idea related, then pls go ahead and share...
Just in case, if anyone doesn't know what puppet show is https://puppetry.in/
I am trying to build a 3 link robotic arm manipulator in Gazebo with ROS2 as my first robotics project. On that note, I have learnt the kinematics aspect of the project. I've also started to work on the ROS2 aspect as well. Now, my goal is to learn control systems. For that, I wanna know a list of topics that I should look into, and a list of resources that are good in teaching me that. If you've worked on a similar project, help me out. I'm open for dms as well.
we need need a 3d tool to design, simulators, RL training, sim-to-real, testing and all. if you ever worked on a full lifecycle, how many different tools do you used?
Im planning to participate in WRO RoboSports for the first time. Im still learning and would really appreciate any help or guidance
I am working on robotics i need help in 3d designing things. If anyone intrested to join.
we are working in developing a welcome robot kind of thing. we lack 3d model designing ppl on our team.
After getting an admit from UMich, waiting on GATech for a week or so, I finally got a reply. I decided to go with GATech. Anyone else in the same boat?
With clothing I made something that would at least stand up with legs and bending at the knee from two of these tripods: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/1mgAAeSwLedpmMjW/s-l1600.webp
How could you go from those joints to having something move the legs, clothes would be on top too to walk like a human, no need for arms, they can just be floppy.
A simple robotic movement that you could take outside and hold up next to you.
The clothes add about 10KG
I have 5 esp32s3 and mpu 6050 and I want to use them to make swarm. But I want to make small drones made from coreless motors (8520). ESCs are going to be a bit expensive for me so I want to use MOSFETs for it. But I’m stuck at the transistors to use and if I’d need any extra components
ik you guys will hate this post bc this is just impossible. i am a 3rd gear cs student in data science major. and before you say im crazy for wanting robotics. I am not completely uneducated in the subject. I know basic fundamental like ROS, SLAM algorithm, and just lots and lots of components. I am currently running the robotics club in my university but the issue is we dont actually do real robotics, all our work is just from basic embedded systems to IoT projects (and one ROV). I also looked into robot learning for a while. (I know basic mechanical design and also IoT)
i have built some projects like a hexapod, basic ROV, CNC machines, and some things that are more basic like smart lockers, imu controlled cars, metal object detection, etc. also for some reason I just know alot of embedded systems and software (well, enough to land an internship in stmElectronics thankfully)
i am 100% aware these things are not enough for me to actually work in robotics. but i just love it sm i dont want to spend the rest of my life working in software only,so what do i do? im just so lost
