* '''Description''': We are an informal group of robotics enthusiasts that meet on Mondays to "sync" and work on projects, we also arrange to hack on stuff at other times. We have members who are very good in various fields and have those that are just starting out on hacking on their projects, so beginners are just as welcome!
* '''Meetups''': Every Monday 7:30pm start at [[447_Hackney_Road#How_to_get_there|London Hackspace]] (free event, non-members welcome)
* Open to both LHS members and the public (if needed please ring the bell and mention you are coming for the robotics group meetup)

How to get started

Robotics is a multidisciplinary field and although that is what makes it exciting, it also makes it really hard to get started.

Here are some resources to get you on help you get started:

  • Starting bots
  • Electronics
    • edX Embedded Systems course(link) on 22nd Jan 2014. Syllabus can be found here here and can order the eval board required for the course at TI-store for just over £8 equivalent.
  • Software
    • Andrew Davison (Imperial College) robotics course ([1]). Excellent introduction to mobile robotics.
  • Mechanics
    • Robotics 101 - Set of videos based around the Actobotics set by Sparkfun, good general overview.
  • Books
    • Don't forget we have some good books at the hack-space library, you can browse them using LibraryThing

Robotics projects

Members

Here's the opt-in list of members and what they are working on

  • Dean not an expert more of a project manager :-)
  • Jon I currently have a small collection of home built and bought robots, including a 3Pi, a scratch build two wheel balancing robot, an antique 6DoF hydraulic arm and a RoboNova biped. I built an autonomous robot for the [SparkFun AVC competition] in June 2013, and I'm helping with the Staubli Robot Arm.
