From Hobby to Autonomy: The Essential Control Loop Mindset for Robotics Engineers (Don't Miss This!)
#robotics engineering #control engineering #controlblockdiagram
The short answer: to understand what you do in robotics engineering, think in terms of a control block diagram. It will give you confidence!
Robotics engineering is truly a multi-disciplinary field and broad. So it is not surprising that it is easy for people to get lost. I was lost as well. Though it is difficult to say what’s the authentic way to start robotics, I found a “better” way that works the best so far. Let’s discuss how the control engineering perspective can glue all this multi-disciplinary field of robotics.
