What you'll learn
The Robo Car course is a practical robotics program designed to teach learners how to build, program, and operate a robotic vehicle. The course combines electronics, Arduino programming, DC motors, motor drivers, sensors, chassis assembly, remote control, obstacle avoidance, and line-following technologies.
Students learn how a robotic car receives inputs from sensors or remote-control systems and uses programmed instructions to control its motors and movement. The course provides hands-on experience in assembling circuits, programming microcontrollers, integrating sensors, testing robotic movement, and developing functional Robo Car projects.
