Description

“If you think that the internet has changed your life, think again. The Internet of Things is about to change it all over again!” – Brendan O’Brien, Chief Architect & Co-Founder, Aria Systems

MieRobot has designed this IOT Robotics project course as an opportunity for you to get introduced into low cost 'Do it yourself ' (DIY) robotics. This is also a great chance to get skilled in IOT with a certificate from Udemy.

By the end of the course, you will have created an ESP12E NodeMCU wheeled robot that can be controlled through a free Blynk mobile app and you will also be able to see the live video feed as the robot moves around. We will attach one light detecting sensor to the robot which would tell us if the robot can sense a dark or bright ambience.

But more than that, by the end of the course you will have become a better problem solver. You will have experience in analysing problems and designing solutions. You will be able to integrate simple mechanical parts with motors, batteries, sensors and Blynk applications with your mobile.This course will be updated regularly and support would be provided through QA forum.

The ideal student is someone who has basic background in C programming along with a strong interest in Internet of things and robotics. This course is suited for students, professionals, hobby makers and DIY makers.

I invite you to review the free lectures in of the course to find out more details about it.

If you are excited about becoming a Maker with the IOT Robotics, join many other Makers and me in Make an ESP12E IOT Robot!

I look forward to meeting with you!

What you’ll learn

Use ESP12E board for IOT

Use ESP12E motor shield to drive DC motors

Implement a 2-wheel robot structure

Design a Blynk mobile app to control our robot without coding

Use Light sensor for our robot

Use IP camera mobile app with our robot

Test our robot to see live video stream and control it as a spy robot

You can see the final outcome of this course in the last section testing where there is a free preview.
