This document discusses robotics, Arduino, and microcontrollers. It defines robotics and explains that Arduino is an open-source hardware and software company that designs kits for building interactive devices. A microcontroller is described as a small computer on a single integrated circuit that contains memory, input/output peripherals, and a processor. The Atmel ATmega328P microcontroller on the Arduino Uno board is then outlined, noting its pins, memory, and functions. Finally, instructions for a basic "Blink" code example using an LED on pin 10 are provided.

3. Robotics and ArduinoRobotics and Arduino
Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and
computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and
application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control,
sensory feedback, and information processing.
Arduino is a software company, project, and user community that designs and
manufactures computer open-source hardware, open-source software,
and microcontroller-based kits for building digital devices and interactive
objects that can sense and control physical devices

4. Robotics and ArduinoRobotics and Arduino
A microcontroller is a small computer (SoC) on a single integrated circuit
containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output
peripherals. Program memory in the form of Ferroelectric RAM,
NOR flash or OTP ROM is also often included on chip, as well as a
typically small amount of RAM

6. Robotics and ArduinoRobotics and Arduino
The high-performance Atmel picoPower 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontroller
combines 32KB ISP flash memory with read-while-write capabilities,
1024B EEPROM, 2KB SRAM, 23 general purpose I/O lines,
32 general purpose working registers, three flexible timer/counters with
compare modes, internal and external interrupts, serial programmable USART,
a byte-oriented 2-wire serial interface, SPI serial port,
a 6-channel 10-bit A/D converter
(8-channels in TQFP and QFN/MLF packages), programmable watchdog timer
with internal oscillator, and five software selectable power saving modes.
The device operates between 1.8-5.5 volts.
By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the device achieves
throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz,
balancing power consumption and processing speed.

8. Robotics and ArduinoRobotics and Arduino
The Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P.
It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs),
6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack,
an ICSP header and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support
the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB
cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started..
You can tinker with your UNO without worrying too much about doing
something wrong, worst case scenario you can replace the chip
for a few dollars and start over again.
