What you'll learn
The IR Remote Controlled Robots course is a practical robotics program designed to teach learners how to build and control a robotic vehicle using an infrared (IR) remote control system. The course covers electronics, Arduino programming, IR communication, motor control, motor drivers, robot assembly, and troubleshooting.
Students learn how an IR remote transmits commands to an IR receiver and how a microcontroller interprets those commands to control the robot's motors. Through hands-on activities, learners develop practical skills in circuit building, programming, robot assembly, wireless command control, and robotic system integration.
