 Many people ask the question, "How does robotics affect our life?". Well, in this blog I'll answer that question for you! Robots are utilised in many different industries, from manufacturing to logistics, and robots have become an integral component of our lives. Robots can carry out activities that humans find risky, repetitive, or challenging save time, and make our lives much easier!  Domestic uses: The demand for domestic robots has been increasing rapidly. The most popular domestic robot is a robot vacuum cleaner, also known as a 'Roomba'. It is an extremely useful device that helps save time and does a monotonous task and does it efficiently. It has a plethora of sensors such as a cliff sensor and an infrared sensor which allows the Roomba to prevent falls and navigate safely without causing damage to the house or to itself, Roomba are equipped with inertial sensors and accelerometers that help determine the robot's orientation and changes in motion.

Welcome back to the blog on the electrifying world of robotics! In this part of Basic Electronics for Robotics, we will further explore the fascinating world of electronic components and some fundamental concepts that you should know! First up are the laws by Kirchoff, it is a fundamental principle that helps us understand current and voltage, it shows how electric currents behave in a circuit. It might sound intimidating, but in this article, I will walk you through each and every concept in detail. I hope that by the end of this, you will understand the fundamentals. Kirchoff's Current Law - the law states that the current entering a junction in a circuit should be equal to the total current leaving the junction. It reinforces the principle of conservation of electric charge within a circuit. It helps us understand how currents behave at junctions in electrical circuits, which can help us design advanced robotic systems Kirchoff's Voltage Law - it states that in any clo
