2.1. Stages of the Robotics Lab Course
Robotics lab course stages can be partitioned according to the planned weekly syllabus. Students firstly met with
electronics elements and materials in lab environment. They learnt circuit elements, soldering, operating with heat
silicon, peeling cables, to design a radio transmitter and they operated the radio transmitters.
Sensor circuits were taught at the second stage, sensor circuit examined with LED. Motherboard design
principals and elements were explained and after then micro controller and Schmitt Trigger design were completed.
Then location of motor ports organized.
Hardware design stage covers designing and creating chassis, mounting motors, adding sensors to the chassis,
making connections with cables, mounting wheels. At the last stage, software was developed and robots were
operated.
