Introduction

What is Tamiya Cam-Program Robot?

Cam-Program Robot is one of Tamiya Educational Construction Series. You can program temporary motions of this cute robot with latch gears called "program bar". We can control its motions and get sensing values with adding a computer such as Raspberry Pi.

What is ROS?

ROS is a Robot Operating System to share robot functions easily. ROS works with Ubuntu, one of the OS of Linux, alone. A Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu and ROS is necessary for this project. Strategies, designs and algorithms can help you who use microcontrollers including Arduino and microbit.
