Complete road Map of Robotic and Automation from Beginning To advanced Level.
Before Beginning to chase any Field it is necessary that we should have to understand the basic concept about that field. so Before exploring the dept of Robotics first we have to understand that what is Robotics?
What is Robotics?
Robotics is the sub-field of Mechatronics which deals with the Study / Combination of Mechanical, Electrical,electronics and computer programming.It focuses on designing, building, programming, and controlling an electrical system which could be able to work itself or with help of coordination of humans. when define the term Robote it would be like a robot is a machine that can perform tasks automatically and mimics the works of humans by using sensors, controllers, and actuators.
Where the Robots can be used?
Robots are widely used in factories, hospitals, agriculture, homes, warehouses, and even space exploration. As technology advances, robotics is becoming one of the most exciting and rewarding fields to learn.
Understand that What is the main Purpose of Building robots?
The main purpose of designing robots is to perform tasks that may be dangerous, difficult, repetitive, or time-consuming for humans. Robots make such tasks easier, safer, and more efficient by performing them with greater speed, accuracy, and less human effort.
Road Map of Robotics
Robotics is a such type of field which combines the Principle of Electrical, Mechanical, and software Engineering.
When you are a beginner in the field of robotics, you should first focus on the software aspect, where you need to develop and strengthen your basic programming skills. These skills provide a strong foundation for learning how to program, control, and operate robots.
In Below simple and clearest road map of Robotic and Automation is shown.
C++ → Linux → Embedded C/C++ → Electronics → Control Systems → OpenCV → ROS 2 → Kinematics → SLAM & Navigation → AI/MLRoad Map of Robotics and Automation on behalf of Software aspect.
Programming Language used in Robotics and Automation.
Programming is basically the set of instructions given to a computer to perform any task. it is very important to write program in efficient way to get desired output from robots or any electrical system.
In Robotics these are the Most common Programming Languages are being used.
C++
Python
Git / Github
Linux / Bash
After completing these all the programming languages then you have to move towards the Electronic part in which you should learn about the electronic circuits.
Electronics in Robotics
This field deals with the study of Electrical sytem which operates on the electrical signals (On & Off).
The electrical part of a robotic system is responsible for supplying, controlling, and distributing electrical power to the different components of the robot. It includes components such as batteries, power supplies, sensors, motors, motor drivers, microcontrollers, switches, relays, and wiring. These components work together to provide power, collect information from the robot’s environment, and control its actuators and other electronic devices.
