Robotics in a nutshell

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...

What is robotics? Well, it is amalgamation of science, engineering, and technology and has changed and revolutionised a countless number of industries such as healthcare, manufacturing and agriculture. For these machines to work, the core is the electronics which run and bring these machines to life. Understanding the basics of electronics is crucial before trying to learn the depths of Robotics. Voltage, Current and Resistance: These are the three most fundamental concepts of electricity which is essential for the working of a machine. Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points. Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes electrons through a conducting loop, which enables them to do work. Voltage is measured in Volts. Current on the other hand is the movement of electric charge through an electric conductor. Current is measure in amps. Resistance is the measure of opposition to the flow of charged(current) in an electric co...
