How to Make a Simple Robot Using Digi-Key IoT Studio
The aim of this project is to create a simple, Bluetooth-controlled robot that can take sensory readings of its surrounding environment. Such robots are frequently used in dangerous environments, such as radioactive contaminated areas and dangerous structures, as well as remote locations, such as planetary rovers and satellites. While the robot in this project would struggle to work in a radioactive contaminated zone as, this project demonstrates how Digi-Key IoT Studio can be used for more than just simple IoT sensory devices.
