Examples of Arduino robot technology

Hopefully, you are excited about the fact that you are now able to program your Arduino microcontroller board. You can be sure that this is only the very beginning of our journey toward building real robots with our newly learned Arduino skills. Arduino technology is often used for research and development to quickly prototype hardware concepts, or even to build cost-effective production systems. Researchers and engineers use Arduino boards on every kind of robot, from solar-powered autonomous boats to monitor the water quality of lakes to scientific data collection on rockets and high-altitude balloons.

There are highly active open source software projects that let you turn your Arduino into a flight controller for autonomous airplanes (https://ardupilot.org/) or into the brains of your DIY 3D printer (https://marlinfw.org/). You just took the first step toward being able to do all these things yourself and become part of the active community of hobbyists, enthusiasts, researchers, and engineers who use Arduino for their robotics projects.
