Motor Control for Robots: A Learning Roadmap

Drive two motors with precise speed and direction, read how far they have turned, and steer a differential-drive robot.

Motors are where a robot’s decisions become motion. This roadmap builds motor control from the ground up: first switch real motor current safely with an H-bridge and PWM, then close the loop by reading encoders so you know how far and how fast each wheel has turned, and finally combine two wheels into differential-drive steering and odometry.

Work through the nodes in order—each unlocks the next once you have done it. By the end you can command a robot’s wheels with real precision, the foundation for line following, maze solving, and autonomous navigation.
