Robotics For Absolute Beginners + 2 Real Projects

Learn how to get started with Fusion 360 by navigating the workspace, using sketch tools, setting units, and turning sketches into 3D solids.

Set up your Fusion 360 workspace, sketch a square and circle, extrude to a cube, create holes, apply appearances, and inspect edges from the top view for a 3D model.

Design and understand planes in 3d modeling through practical modification tools. Apply smoothing, fillets, and bevels, and use shell, extrude, and construct features to build precise, integrated parts.

Explore designing a simple spur gear drive using Fusion 360 and Python scripts, comparing driver and follower gears, gear types, and automatic parameter-based gear generation for a compact gear train.

Discover how GitHub hosts open source mechanical designs, from keyboard templates to robot projects, with downloadable code, scripts, and documentation to support mechanical design and robotics.

Sketch and design your first line-following robot using two sensors, two motors and wheels, a simple circuit, and a 3d chassis, shown from top, side, and front views.

Explore open source communities to download free robotic modules and designs, evaluate Fusion 360 and SolidWorks models, and assemble with sensors, motors, and wheels for hands-on projects.

Follow along as we design and assemble a compact robot chassis in Fusion 360, aligning wheels and motors, adding mounts, brackets, and sensor placements for a complete build.

Provide a beginner-friendly introduction to robot design using Fusion 360, teaching easy tracking, assembly, and drawing generation with minimal resources and cross-platform accessibility.
