The concept of robots, as well as of improvised materials, rarely coincides between a person who understands robotics and those who have just started to be interested in this area. The fact is that it is not easy to assemble even the simplest mechanism. You need at least basic knowledge of physics, electronics, circuitry. And even those will not always help you to assemble a robot of an adequate model.
Instructions
Today, large corporations are ready to satisfy the desire of the consumer. They offer versatile kits for assembling robots. This kit comes with instructions and several variations for assembling robots. Nevertheless, your imagination can freely wander and try to assemble an absolutely abstract model of a robot from a set of parts.
An interesting project in this regard was proposed by the Lego concern. With the help of your child's constructor and programmable microcontrollers, you can ensure the movement and multitasking of a Lego robot. Believe me, making a robot out of Lego and starting to give it tasks will be an exciting experience for anyone.
But if you omit the high-tech constructors, and remain alone with reality, you can still make a robot. For this you will need batteries - as batteries. Wires and a soldering iron - in order to ensure the integrity and connection of the blocks to the mechanism. And also, primitive engines that will provide movement. You can get them from children's toy cars or on the radio market. An elementary robot must move. This is the maximum program for home production from improvised means.
So, in order for your mechanism to come to life, you need to connect together an elementary motor and a battery. It's best if you can come up with a battery case. Then you can fix the engine to the housing, and equip its axis with a wheel. You can do with one motor-motor, but this is already a task for your ingenuity and resourcefulness.
The development of the model is possible. You can always add position and obstacle sensors that will allow the robot to avoid obstacles and obstacles.
This is how a primitive robot can be assembled from simple parts. Many will consider it the basis for a children's toy car, but gentlemen, believe me, this is how it all began.
