Building Arduino robots and devices
Heads up! This course may be archived and/or unavailable.
For many years now, people have been improving their tools, studying the forces of nature and bringing them under control, using the energy of the nature to operate their machines. Last century is noted for the creation of machines which can operate other machines. Nowadays the creation of devices that interact with the physical world is available to anyone. Our course consists of a series of practical problems on making things that work independently: they make their own decisions, act, move, communicate with each other and people around, and control other devices. We will demonstrate how to assemble such devices and programme them using the Arduino platform as a basis. After this course, you will be able to create devices that read the data about the external world with a variety of sensors, receive and forward this data to a PC, the Internet and mobile devices, and control indexing and the movement. The creation of such devices will involve design, the study of their components, the assemblage of circuit boards, coding and diagnostics. Along with the creation of the devices themselves, you will perform visualization on a PC, create a web page that will demonstrate one of your devices, and figure out how an FDM 3D-printer is configured and how it functions. Besides those keen on robotics or looking to broaden their horizons and develop their skills, the course will also be useful to anyone facing the task of home and industrial automation, as well as to anyone engaged in industrial design, advertising and art. The course does not require any special knowledge from the participants and is open even to students of upper secondary school. Programming skills and the level of English allowing to read technical documentation would be an advantage, but this is not obligatory. The entire course is dedicated to practice, so the best way for you would be to get hold of some electronics, follow the illustrated examples and experiment on your own.

for beginners
This course is a great opportunity where I exposed to robotics and Arduino by practicing Very poor course, it was not easy to understand the language, and it was not straight forward for beginners Though language barrier has caused this course to be confusing, I'm still grateful to have completed the course as it helped me how to build projects the right way.
Good for beginners and above, It covers most of robotic topics, thank you.
This is a good course for beginners.

very useful
This course is well planned and very useful despite some confusing translations of the quizzes and lack of English translations of the videos.
But the course are very useful.

It hard to work with Arduino, and it's harder to work with the Iskra.
there are nices tricks and APP for work with arduino.
curso es
El contenido del curso es muy atractivo, las primeras dos semanas es interesante, sin embargo a la tercer semana, cuando ya no puedes cancelarlo, los videos son en idioma ruso, que aunque tienen traducción al inglés, no puedes hacer dos cosas al mismo tiempo, leer la traducción del idioma y ver lo que realiza el ponente en el video.
También te envían al correo anotaciones en ruso, deberían especificar que el curso es en dicho idioma y las dificultades técnicas a las que te puedes enfrentar Not perfect, but certainly a very good introduction for beginners who want to get into Arduino.
lo que
los vídeos
Pero el tema de que a partir de la 3a semana todo es en ruso obliga a ir leyendo subtítulos y se pierde la atención en los vídeos.
Esto empeora la calidad del curso.Por otra parte, en los vídeos se muestran los comentarios de los programas en inglés, mientras que en los programas que se descargan los comentarios están en ruso; no sirven para nada, salvo que hables ruso, claro,En la 5a semana hay un salto muy grande respecto de las anteriores, y lo de la 6a semana, poniéndose a imprimir un modelo con la impresora 3D como si todo el mundo la tuviese, es ya de un desfase total respecto del progreso anterior.Los programas que ponen en las descargas no son completos y no permiten tener un punto de partida que funciona para ir incorporando funciones y características adicionales; como en el tema idiomático, no se corresponde lo que se ve en los vídeos con lo que se puede descargar, a nivel de programas.La página para encargar el KIT de materiales para el curso no funciona.El curso es de Arduino y a la primera de cambio, aparece una placa Iskra, que no digo que no sea buena, pero, por ejemplo, me ha sido imposible conseguir una, así como imposible conseguir otros elementos que se muestran y que podrían ser muy útiles.La sensación final es extraña, por un lado positiva porque me he atrevido a ponerme a programar cosas y hacer pequeños montajes y por otra mala porque no considero que haya aprovechado más allá del 30% del curso, debido a los temas anteriormente citados.
