From 0 to building a robot arm with Arduino
Sure ML, data science and AI are really cool - but what's even cooler is applying them to the physical world!
In this new series we're going to explore the wonderful field of robotics - starting with some very simple examples with arduino (no experience needed!). In future episodes we will go on to try different microcontrollers and techniques, and eventually some more advanced applications of physical intelligence (like lerobot arms!).
Super excited to learn a lot of new things, get creative, and have some fun!

I've sketeched out the next phases of this project and will continue to update all my work and design in the github repo: https://github.com/iuliaferoli/arduin...
If you have more suggestions please let me know in the comments - I will answer and try to incorporate all the advice in each follow-up episode!
