Description
Summary:The commercial robots are expensive for use in the educational institutions. The operation of them will not leave room for experimentation, which is necessary in an educational institution. Further a large number of components that can be used for building a robot are readily available in the market. Hence this project has been taken up to allow us to build a working robot using as many of the off the shelf components to provide the necessary flexibility. This would make it a low cost robot with enough flexibility for the students to experiment the various functions of the robot.
