00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Assembly of Robot. |
00:05 | In this tutorial, we will learn: |
00:07 | To assemble a simple Robot |
00:10 | About dot apk file to control a Robot and |
00:15 | How to install the app on a mobile phone. |
00:18 | To follow this tutorial, you should have a basic knowledge of Electronics |
00:24 | To record this tutorial, here I am using: |
00:28 | Ubuntu Linux 16.04 OS
Android Phone |
00:34 | We require the following components to build the simple robot. |
00:38 | 2 DC Motors |
00:40 | Acrylic Robot Chassis with screws and nuts |
00:44 | 1 Caster Wheel |
00:46 | 2 DC Motor Wheels |
00:49 | Single Strand Wires and |
00:51 | Screwdriver |
00:54 | In this tutorial, we will see how to assemble a two wheel robot. |
01:00 | I will explain the assembly of a robot along with the images. |
01:05 | First we need to solder DC motor’s wire leads as shown in the image. |
01:11 | Using a soldering iron, solder a red wire and a black wire to the wire leads of the motor as shown. |
01:19 | Repeat this with the other DC motor as well. |
01:23 | This is the acrylic chassis where we will mount the DC motor and Caster Wheel. |
01:29 | Along with the chassis we have Motor Mounting Brackets, screws and nuts. |
01:35 | These are the Motor Mounting Brackets. |
01:38 | They are used to fix the DC motors to the frame. |
01:42 | Insert the bracket into the indicated slot. |
01:47 | Now, place one DC motor here. |
01:51 | Place another Motor Mounting Bracket from the outside. |
01:56 | Take the long screws and insert them into the two brackets and motor. |
02:02 | Use a nut from the other side to tighten the screw. |
02:06 | Repeat this procedure for mounting the other motor on the chassis as well. |
02:12 | Fix the wheels on the motors as shown here. |
02:17 | First, fix the brass spacers on the chassis with the help of screws as shown in the image. |
02:25 | Tighten the screws with a screwdriver. |
02:29 | Now, flip the chassis to mount the caster wheel on the same side as the motor. |
02:35 | Mount the caster wheel on four brass spacers using the small screws. |
02:42 | Tighten up each screws so that the caster wheel gets firmly fixed to the chassis. |
02:48 | Now, we are done with assembling the robot. |
02:51 | Further, we need an App to control the robot. |
02:55 | An APK file is an app for the Android Google's mobile operating system. |
03:01 | We have built an android app to control the robot which we have built. |
03:07 | This won't work on other mobile operating systems like Apple’s iOS. |
03:13 | We have used the MIT App Inventor platform to build an app named Car Bluetooth RC |
03:21 | To use this app on your phone, you need to download this dot apk file. |
03:27 | Let us go to the MIT App inventor website and have a look. |
03:32 | In the web browser, type appinventor dot mit dot edu |
03:40 | MIT App Inventor is an open source platform to build applications for both Android and iOS. |
03:49 | Go through the tutorials and instructions on this website, for more information. |
03:55 | Using the MIT app inventor, I have created the Car Bluetooth RC dot apk file. |
04:02 | Similarly, you can explore, and create your own app for your project using the MIT App Inventor. |
04:09 | The dot apk file used in this tutorial is available in the Code Files link on this tutorial page. |
04:16 | Please download and extract it. |
04:19 | Make a copy and then use it while practising. |
04:23 | Let's first see how to install this app and how to configure it. |
04:28 | I have downloaded the Car Bluetooth RC dot apk file into my Downloads folder in my computer. |
04:36 | Go to Google drive. |
04:38 | In the left panel, click on the New option. |
04:42 | Select File upload option. |
04:45 | A File Upload pop-up window will open. |
04:48 | Select the dot apk file from where you have downloaded. |
04:52 | Now click on the Open option. |
04:55 | After a few seconds, the dot apk file will be uploaded on your Google drive. |
05:01 | Next we will see how to open this file in the Android phone. |
05:05 | Otherwise you can transfer the dot apk file from your computer to the phone using an USB cable. |
05:12 | Now open Google drive in your Android phone. |
05:16 | Note: Make sure you are using the same email account' where you have saved the dot apk file |
05:23 | Click on the dot apk file that you uploaded from your computer. |
05:27 | Select Package Installer option. |
05:30 | It will ask if you want to install this application. |
05:34 | Click on Install option. |
05:37 | Now the app is installed on your phone. |
05:40 | You can see the Car Bluetooth RC icon on your mobile phone. |
05:45 | We will see how we can control a robot using this app in the next tutorial. |
05:52 | In this tutorial, we learnt:
To assemble a simple robot. |
05:58 | About dot apk file to control a robot and |
06:02 | How to install the app on a mobile phone. |
06:06 | The video at the following link summarizes the Spoken Tutorial project. Please download and watch it. |
06:14 | The Spoken Tutorial Project Team conducts workshops and gives certificates.
For more details, please write to us. |
06:23 | Please post your timed queries in this forum. |
06:27 | The Spoken Tutorial project is funded by MHRD, Government of India. |
06:33 | This tutorial has been contributed by FOSSEE and Spoken Tutorial Project, IIT Bombay.
