A Ball-Bot is a type of robot that balances on a single spherical wheel, giving it the capability to move and rotate in any direction while maintaining balance. This design requires a specialized drive system to enable precise movement and stability. Here’s a breakdown of the key components and types of drive systems typically used… Continue reading Ball-Bot Drive Systems

Here’s a breakdown of its key features, specifications, and operation:… Continue reading Rhino RMCS2303 closed-loop servo motor controller

Single-board computers (SBCs) are compact, self-contained computers that have all their core components — such as the CPU, memory, storage, and connectivity interfaces — on a single circuit board. Unlike traditional desktop or laptop computers, SBCs don’t require separate components like a motherboard or dedicated graphics card; instead, they’re designed to function as standalone devices,… Continue reading Single Board Computers (SBCs)

In robotics, a trajectory refers to the path that a robot or its components follow over time to reach a specific target or perform a task. This path is defined not only in terms of the spatial location (position) but also in terms of orientation, velocity, and acceleration. Trajectory planning is essential for ensuring smooth… Continue reading Trajectory in Robotics

Perception in robotics refers to a robot’s ability to sense, interpret, and understand its environment. It enables robots to gather data about their surroundings through various sensors and use that information to perform tasks autonomously. Perception systems in robotics typically include the following components: 1. Sensors: These are the primary tools used by robots to… Continue reading Perception in Robotics

In robotics, Degrees of Freedom (DOF) refer to the number of independent movements or variables that define a robot’s motion in space. The concept of DOF is used to describe how a robot can move or manipulate objects in its environment. Each DOF corresponds to a specific type of motion, such as linear (translation) or… Continue reading Degrees of Freedom (DOF)

SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a process used by autonomous robots and devices to build a map of an unknown environment while simultaneously keeping track of their location within it. SLAM is crucial for robots, drones, self-driving cars, and augmented reality systems, as it allows them to navigate environments without prior knowledge or GPS… Continue reading SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) for Robots

A box plot, also known as a box-and-whisker plot, is a graphical representation used in data visualization to show the distribution of a dataset. It provides a summary of a dataset’s central tendency, dispersion, and skewness. Here’s how it works: Box Components: Box: Represents the interquartile range (IQR), which contains the middle 50% of the… Continue reading Box Plot in Data Visualization

Feedforward neural networks (FNNs) are one of the simplest types of artificial neural networks used in machine learning and deep learning. They are called “feedforward” because the information flows in one direction—from the input layer, through hidden layers (if any), and to the output layer—without any loops or cycles. This structure contrasts with recurrent neural… Continue reading Feedforward Neural Networks in Machine Learning

A scatter plot is a type of data visualization that displays values for two variables as a collection of points on a two-dimensional graph. Each point represents an observation from the dataset, with the position on the x-axis corresponding to one variable and the position on the y-axis corresponding to the other variable. Scatter plots… Continue reading Scatter plot in Data Visualization
