DESCRIPTION:Build a functional animatronic eye! Learn Arduino coding and me
 chatronics to precisely control a servo motor.\n\n \n\nRobotics Lab Series
 \n\n \n\nFrom Code to Creation: An Introduction to Applied Mechatronics\n\
 nLevel up your technical skill development with this unique\, hands-on wor
 kshop where you will build a functional animatronic eye. This project serv
 es as a perfect\, low-barrier entry point into the interconnected worlds o
 f robotics\, microcontrollers\, and motion control.\n\n \n\nKey Skill Deve
 lopment Areas:\n\nMicrocontroller Basics: Gain practical experience with t
 he Arduino platform\, the industry-standard tool for rapid prototyping and
  connecting code to the physical world. You will learn how microcontroller
 s function as the "brain" of any smart device.Applied Coding (C++): Learn 
 the core concepts of Arduino's C++ syntax to command specific actions\, fo
 cusing on writing clean and effective code to control movement and timing.
 Servo Motor Control: Master the fundamentals of utilizing servo motors for
  precise\, repeatable angular movement. This skill is critical for any pro
 ject involving robotics\, linkages\, or precise positioning.3D Printing In
 tegration: Understand how to prepare and integrate a custom-designed\, 3D-
 printed component (the eye) with electronic and mechanical parts\, bridgin
 g the gap between digital design and physical construction. \n\nFuture Res
 earch and Application:\n\nThe principles learned here directly support fut
 ure research and academic projects\, including:\n\nRobotics: Creating soph
 isticated end-effectors\, joints\, or sensor-sweeping mechanisms.Kinematic
 s: Experimenting with motion pathways and simulating complex mechanical mo
 vements.Prototyping: Rapidly creating proof-of-concept mechanical interfac
 es for larger projects in engineering or computer vision.Participants will
  leave the workshop with a solid understanding of a complete electromechan
 ical system\, and a take-home kit consisting of your personal 3D-printed e
 ye and servo motor to continue your skill development journey. \n\nComplet
 e List of UCR Library Events - All UCR community members are welcome to at
 tend. Make sure to register with your UCR email. Zoom link will be emailed
  to registered participants. Participants are expected to follow and uphol
 d UC Riverside's Principles of Community.
