Single Board Computers (SBCs)
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)
PCB Stackup in KiCad
When designing a printed circuit board (PCB) in software like KiCad, various layers are used to manage different aspects of the board’s design and manufacturing process. These layers provide important guidelines and ensure the correct placement and protection of components, proper soldering, and overall functionality of the board. F.courtyard and B.courtyard: These layers define a… Continue reading PCB Stackup in KiCad

Schematics Editor: The Schematics Editor in KiCad, known as Eeschema, is a robust tool designed for creating and editing electronic schematics. It offers a user-friendly interface with a wide array of functionalities to streamline the schematic design process. Users can easily place components from extensive libraries, connect them using wires, and add annotations, labels, and… Continue reading KiCad Tools
KiCad
KiCad is an open-source software suite used for designing electronic schematics and printed circuit boards (PCBs). It provides a powerful set of tools that enable users to create complex circuits, design their layout on a PCB, and generate the files needed to manufacture the board. KiCad is widely used by hobbyists, engineers, and educators due… Continue reading KiCad
Trajectory in Robotics
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
Convert STL to Solid in Fusion 360
STL file is most used for 3d printing and can be identified by .stl extension STL files consist of a series of linked triangles that describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object. They don’t include color, texture, or other common CAD attributes. You may also hear STL files referred to as ‘mesh’ files.… Continue reading Convert STL to Solid in Fusion 360
Perception 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
Degrees of Freedom (DOF)
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)
