Welcome to the first featured build on 𝓛𝓘𝓐𝓚𝓞𝓢 𝓟𝓡𝓞𝓙𝓔𝓒𝓣𝓢.

This project is an Arduino-based robot created as an introduction to robotics, electronics, and embedded programming. The goal of this build is to combine simple hardware and code to create a functional robot capable of movement and basic control.

Using Arduino, motors, wheels, and essential electronic components, this project demonstrates how a robot can be designed, assembled, programmed, and tested step by step.

Through this project, I will present the materials used, the wiring connections, the building process, the code, and the final result.

Ιn this step, I created the complete circuit wiring of my Arduino robot using 𝓣𝓘𝓝𝓚𝓔𝓡𝓒𝓐𝓓.

This stage is very important because it connects all the main electronic components that allow the robot to move, detect obstacles, and respond through light and sound.

The circuit includes the Arduino Uno R3, breadboard, L293D motor driver, HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, piezo buzzer, RGB LED, resistors, and DC motors.

Once all the wiring is completed correctly, the robot is ready for the next step: coding and testing.

After successfully testing the project in 𝓣𝓘𝓝𝓚𝓔𝓡𝓒𝓐𝓓, I moved on to building the real physical version of the 𝓐𝓡𝓓𝓤𝓘𝓝𝓞 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣.

At this stage, the circuit was assembled using real electronic components and hardware connections, turning the digital simulation into an actual working build.

This step is one of the most important parts of the project because it shows how a virtual design can be transformed into a real robotic system.

The physical circuit allows the 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣 to function in a real environment, making the project more practical, interactive, and complete.

This is where the idea becomes reality.

After completing the physical circuit, the next step was to use 𝓐𝓡𝓓𝓤𝓘𝓝𝓞 𝓘𝓓𝓔 to upload the code directly to the 𝓐𝓡𝓓𝓤𝓘𝓝𝓞 board and test the real behavior of the 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣.

This stage is very important because it allows the project to move from simulation and assembly into real hardware testing.

Using 𝓐𝓡𝓓𝓤𝓘𝓝𝓞 𝓘𝓓𝓔, the code was compiled, uploaded, and executed on the board, allowing all the connected components to work together in real time.

Through this process, the 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣 was tested to confirm that the motors, ultrasonic sensor, buzzer, and LED system were functioning correctly.

The final result showed that the circuit worked successfully and that the 𝓐𝓡𝓓𝓤𝓘𝓝𝓞 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣 operated exactly as expected.

This step confirms that the project is fully functional not only in simulation, but also in real-life implementation.

At this stage of the project, I began designing the external head structure of the 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣 using 𝓑𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻, with the goal of creating a custom part suitable for 3D printing.

The concept behind this design is a Mini Creeper Bot, inspired by the iconic Minecraft Creeper, while still being adapted into a real functional 𝓐𝓡𝓓𝓤𝓘𝓝𝓞 robotics project.

This design is not based only on visual appearance. It also needs to be practical and functional. The head structure must include enough internal space to hold the Arduino, electronic connections, and other components that may need to be installed inside the body of the 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣.

For that reason, the 3D design process must consider both the external shape and the internal layout of the system.

A successful robotic shell should provide:

• enough room for electronics

• proper alignment for sensors

• clean cable organization

• mechanical support

• and easy access for future modifications

This part of the project is very important because it transforms the 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣 from a simple electronic circuit into a complete and personalized robotic build.

After designing the head of the 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣, the next step was to begin creating the main body structure in 𝓑𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻.

The body design plays a major role in the project because it is the part that holds the system together and provides space for the mechanical and electronic components.

This structure was designed with both appearance and function in mind, following the idea of building a compact and practical Mini Creeper Bot.

One of the most important design decisions was to include internal empty space and specific openings in the body.

These spaces are necessary because they allow the motor wires to pass through the inside of the structure and connect properly to the rest of the circuit.

This is essential for the movement of the 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣, since the motors need clean and organized cable routing in order to operate correctly.

The holes and internal layout also help make the build easier to assemble, cleaner to wire, and more suitable for future improvements or modifications.

This part of the project shows how 3D design is not only about shape and style, but also about solving practical engineering problems inside a real robotic system.

At this stage of the project, I focused on designing the legs of the 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣 using 𝓑𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻, as part of the complete 3D structure for the Mini Creeper Bot.

The legs are a critical part of the build because they play an essential role in the movement system and the mechanical stability of the full robot.

This design was created with both appearance and functionality in mind, making sure that the legs fit the overall style of the project while also supporting the real hardware requirements.

One of the most important features of this design is the internal space inside each leg, which was planned specifically so that the DC motors can fit properly inside.

This is very important because the motors are responsible for driving the movement of the 𝓡𝓞𝓑𝓞𝓣, and the legs must be able to support them securely and efficiently.

The design also helps improve:

• motor placement

• internal cable routing

• structural support

• mechanical balance

• and easier assembly

By designing these parts carefully, the project becomes more realistic, more stable, and more suitable for future construction and 3D printing.

This part of the project shows how robotic design is not only about electronics and code, but also about creating smart mechanical structures that allow the full system to function properly.
