Background
I teach Computer Science and Robotics, and most of what I write here comes directly out of that classroom work: small Arduino and sensor builds that students can actually replicate on a limited budget, using parts that are easy to source.
I am not an industrial robotics engineer and I don't cover the FANUC/ABB/KUKA-class hardware on this site — that is specification-note material written by the editorial team from manufacturer documentation. What I contribute are hands-on beginner and intermediate projects: things I build, photograph while they're sitting on my desk with the wiring still messy, and test until they actually work.
What I actually work on
- Arduino and microcontroller projects — ultrasonic sensors, motor drivers, Bluetooth modules, basic servo control.
- Educational robotics — small builds designed to be reproduced by students with a limited parts list.
- Troubleshooting write-ups — the wiring mistakes, code bugs and mechanical issues that actually come up when building these projects, not just the finished result.
How I write and verify these pages
Every project I publish here is one I built myself first. The photos are of the actual hardware on my desk, the code is the sketch I ran on it, and any measurement I quote (distance, timing, behavior) is something I tested myself rather than a spec sheet number.
Corrections
If you spot an error in one of my project write-ups — a wrong pin number, a part that's since become hard to find — email contact@roboticsengineeringlab.com or use the contact form and select “Tutorial correction”.

Projects I wrote
- Obstacle-avoiding robot car with Arduino and an ultrasonic sensor — my first build published here.
