Arduino Robotics workshop Day1
This document summarizes Day 1 of an Arduino robotics workshop. It introduces the instructor and provides an overview of the workshop objectives, which are to introduce Arduino, teach robotics fundamentals, have participants build and program a small autonomous robot. The workshop covers basics like breadboards, Arduino components, circuits, coding blink programs. It also demonstrates using sensors, motors, an H-bridge motor controller to build a crawling robot that can move and turn in different directions.
