Robot with infrared remote control   

 

 

Arduino System 

 

These instructions indicate how to build the same Arduino-type smart robot vehicle. It states how to 

install step by step robot chassis, Arduino compatible motherboard, Shield module, geared motors, battery 
holder and the other accessories as well as their wiring system. 

With this project, you will learn how to program the Arduino system and its learning platform. 
It should be noted that to assemble this kit,

 only a screwdriver is needed, NOT INCLUDED 

 

included. All electrical and electronic 

parts can be connected or screwed

 into a terminal block or Clema. 

This smart robot can be controlled remotely thanks to its wireless controller, which emits infrared 

light, and the IR receiver built into the vehicle.
