    PROGRAMMING ROBOTS

    Useful robot algorithms in both pseudocode and source code. Because programming is a very huge subject and there are billions of books and tutorials on how to program already written, all I plan to cover is specifically what is important to programming robots not mentioned in common literature.

    Bootloader Tutorial for $50 Robot Bootloader, Step-by-Step
    A bootloader is a program used to upload .hex files to your microcontroller without a hardware programmer. Learn how to set up a bootloader for any AVR microcontroller. This will also work for the $50 Robot.
    Computer Vision Tutorial Computer Vision Tutorial
    A four part tutorial series that covers vision in biology, image processing, and most vision algorithms.
