What have you done in robotics already? Are you familiar with ROS? Are you using some kind of specialized robotics board? Also Robots General please!

On Letsmakerobots they recommend some literature, for structured work you could look at open coursework or robot cookbook.

bump for robots general

pic related, considering buying the me-arm kit to get started

I totally agree with /RG/, we need a robotics general

post your stupidest robots!

Its a """robot""" I made at the UNI in 2015 using GALs, timers and just one sensor, it escapes a labyrinth with a lot of time

robotics is just mechanics, except trying to work around the machine/operator knowledge barrier instead of design it out of the process.

Leave robots to industry where they belong.

I work with robots for picking/packing.
Use ROS and it's simulation tools.
Get access to a laser cutter, 3d printer, or cnc router. Being able to build a robot + robot parts > being able to do the math.
A rpi/beaglebone + a cnc/stepper driver board (ramps, smoothieboard, etc) will go much further and develop faster than arduino based things.

Youtube:
Stanford's 'CS235: Applied Robot Design' class teachs you all about the mechanical bits of robots and how to build them. Very little math, young teacher, quite entertaining at 2x speed:

CMU Robotics Lab has some great lectures: https://www.youtube.com/user/cmurobotics

Just like with CS, you need to always be building projects with what you learn. Good luck anon.

Bumpan for interest

I'm guessing you did the age-old "only ever turn in one direction and you'll get out."
Implementing a search algorithm would have been more impressive, but that would require better sensors.

fuck that

If it was a labyrinth and not a maze you wouldn't even need that much. It is an actual maze then that sort of thing may or may not work, depending on the maze layout.

>>very little math
if you don't learn the math you are USELESS in robotics.
