This article is part of my book Mechatronics, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence published in the United States (sold out). we give you some up-to-date suggestions on how to design simple robots and automation projects using blocks with simple circuits.
This text was obtained in an early edition of my book Robotics, Mechatornics and Artificial Intelligence published in the United States. Upgrades were made using new technologies. This article teaches how to use basic blocks to create mechatronic, robotic and automation projects.
As we said in the introduction, the basic idea of this book is describe basic electronic building blocks for each of the many function that can be used in a project involving robots and mechatronic devices. With an understanding of how each basic block functions, and how it can be coupled to other blocks, the reader can comprehend the entire operation of an existing mechanism or create an original machine.
This text was obtained in an early edition of my book Robotics, Mechatornics and Artificial Intelligence published in the United States. Upgrades were made using new technologies.
Our point of departure is the idea that robots and mechatronics devices are machines that use electronics and mechanics in combination, and that they are created to perform tasks normally performed by people. From this basic assumption, we can separate the required functions into blocks. The general structure is shown in Figure 1.

Memory is where we store information or data. Electronic memories are circuits used to store data. Microcontrollers have several types of memory and almost every modern electronic device or design uses them to store data. This is very analogous to the human brain, which has a memory where we store the data. In this article, we will learn how an electronic memory is and how we can use it to store data.
How can we concentrate with all the noise of the city or the conversation of an adjacent room? How can we practice meditation or other mental activities which require a lot of silence, without the slightest possibility of deviation of attention in places of much noise and movement? The solution, which at first sight may seem utopian, is the mental shield. But how? Does this really exist? Yes, and it's actually quite simple to assemble, as explained in this article.
Although they are common components, most used in electronic equipment, the capacitors still bring some doubts to technicians and engineers little experienced. When using one type or another and what the differences in characteristics are some of the points which we discuss in this article.
