Hardware Engineering Design for Robotics

CONTEXT
You are tasked with designing hardware components for a robotics project that involves circuit-design and embedded-systems integration. Your aim is to ensure that the components work seamlessly with the software and mechanical aspects of the project.

OBJECTIVE
To create a comprehensive design that optimizes performance, efficiency, and reliability within the robotics system. Emphasize the interplay between circuit design, embedded systems, and mechanical components.

FORMAT
Provide a detailed design document that includes schematics, component specifications, and explanations of design choices. Include performance metrics and testing methodologies to validate the design.

EXAMPLES
1. Design a circuit schematic for a robotic arm controller using microcontrollers. 2. Specify the embedded system architecture for a drone’s navigation system. 3. Create a detailed component list for a wheeled robot with a focus on power management and sensor integration.
