Adith Jagadish Boloor

Adith Jagadish Boloor was born in Mangalore, India. He grew up tinkering with toys and gadgets that kindled his interest in how things work. His admiration for science and technology, specifically in the fields of robotics, 3D printing, and smart systems, grew into a passion that he is working towards, nurturing it into a career. He completed his higher studies at Purdue University, USA and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China and is working towards obtaining a masters degree in robotics. Adith has experience working on robots ranging from simple obstacle—avoiding robots built at home to complex humanoid robots such as the Darwin-OP in Purdue University's research lab. He has coauthored a research paper and has two patents on his name. He enjoys traveling and grabs every opportunity he can to explore the different parts of the world. He is also an international chess player.

Completing the circuit


Now that we completed building the chassis (most of it at least), we can move on to the electrical part of the project. This involves connecting all the servos to the Arduino MEGA; this is exactly what this part entails. "However, didn't we already do this in the previous section?" Yes, but to be more effective, we are going to firstly label the servos and create a circuit that drastically decreases the number of wires that we need.

Labeling the servos

Just before connecting all the servos together to the MEGA, let us make the life of our future selves easier. Let us label each servo so that later we can easily identify what servo wires connect to what servo. To gain an understanding of this, take a look at the following image:

A symmetric labeling will follow on the right-hand side. We will use the following chart to label each servo. The number of (bands refer to the thin strips of the insulation tape that is used as a type of identification):
