This week in robotics I have started my final assignment, a practical assignment in which I must build some circuit to accomplish some task. I have chosen to attempt to build a very basic robot dog. This dog would have 4 servo motors to control its movement - one for...

At the beginning of this week I was formerly given my final assignment of the semester - a practical project in which I must construct some type of simple circuit to be able to provide a solution a problem. This assignment is due in about two weeks from now, and...

Last week in robotics, I looked more into Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Law in some basic circuits. Ohm's Law made sense at first, and when I did the maths to find amperage and voltage throughout a circuit, I got results that seemed correct. When having two 1k resistors...

Last week I was given work to better understand the physics of circuits in order to develop my understanding of how they work, so I am prepared when it comes to my practical project in the next few weeks. I looked at how electricity passes through different types of...

On the first week back after mid semester break I was given my final assignment for the semester - a practical project in which I must build some kind of circuit. I was also given the outline of the types of lessons which would proceed this week, being studies on...

Last week in robotics I have mainly focussed on writing more of my research report on embedded systems, looking at Boston Dynamics' robot dog names Spot, and more specifically looking at its ability to map its environment in real-time and autonomously navigate. I...
