Hello. I am in c++ 1+ year and I want to start programming robots :p I dont find any good tutorials. i found 1 tutorial, that teachs how to make robot who can drive. Anyone has got some ebooks? Thanks a lot :p

At first you need to find a robot that needs your programs and only then ask for help.
 
Looking for something like that also... hope some guru here can help
 
Do you mean bots to make money or actual robots? If its bots for money I can give you a few pointers... just post some questions here and Ill try and answer
 
I want to real robots :) I will buy some parts (NEEDED) for robots :) Roach if You can please give me some tutorials about bots, thanks :)
 
Or if you want to go little further go grab an arduino. Lot's of projects done with it, providing easy coding with libraries for your c++. If you want go deeper, grab avr-gcc and program it in C and handle all the registers yourself.

Big different in Bots and Robots.
Robots are those super strong metal things taking over earth.
Bots are awesome programs that help us automate task.

What do you want your robot to do? Since robotics require knowledge in a) Computer Science b) Mechanical Engineering c) Electrical Engineering (speaking from experience, I have built robots for my university thesis/project), I'd suggest you go for something that has already some work done. Visit here:

and order yourself a "Basic Stamp" and some other parts you think is relevant. Basic Stamp is a board with a microcontroller on it. It uses a really easy language "PBasic".

Ask me if you need any further information.
 
Check out Jameco. They have a lot of products for programming robots. They also have kits for beginners.

I'm in no way affiliated with them. Just mentioning it because 10 years ago in high school I was in a robotics class and that's what we used to do.
 
I programmed robots in college... was pretty cool.

Robot native language was V+, used java sockets to talk to it. Made an autonomous pong playing arm that moved based on webcam images and used some math to determine where to move too to hit the ball back. Other arm was controlled by a human interface so you could play against the robot.... was pretty sweet. I need to find the video I made of it now.....

Anyway... java socket programming would be useful.
 
Nice I did project in VHDL on Altera DE2 board. Used NIOS and C to create Tetris, with vga output and bluetooth support so you can use phone as gamepad :P Really great stuff, that altera thingy is really cool.
 
Hm, I want to program simple robots, something like RC cars :) I will program JUST in C++ :)
 
Look at arduino.cc, get yourself some wheels (and motor shield probably lol) and ir chip, have fun ;)

Click to expand...

Look into lego mindstorms. They are pretty neat if you're looking into something small and their programming language is really really basic.
 
I checked this :) But lego ms is another programming language or I can program with c++?
 
I have some experience with AVR's and i agree with Jannes arduino.cc is the best way to get started.
 
Well I did use old mindstorm rxt not nxt with java. Maybe with other firmware you could run c++, I dunno.
 
First of all you need to get the information about how a robot works and which portion is need to be designed by programming. Then create an algorithm and what to do and what not to do and then you will get the about this.
