The workshop will introduce notions of Arduino and motors for the realization of a robot sound. A basic sound device that generates percussive using robotic behaviors. As a basis for percussion will be used Arduino-controlled electronic engines. Arduino is a microcontroller with an open source user community very broad and very active online documentation.
