From the Circuit to the Robot
Robotics and Electronics
A space to build, experiment, and turn an idea into a real object.
Here, you can experiment with microcontrollers, sensors, and electronic components to build prototypes, devices, and small robots. Those who want to take it a step further can also explore industrial robotics, using tools employed in professional settings.
What Can You Build?
Five projects—from the first circuit to the robotic arm—using the Lab's tools.
Electronics
A working traffic light
Three LEDs on a breadboard and the code that determines which one lights up and when: your first circuit that follows a set of rules.
Sensors and Motion
An ultrasonic radar
A sensor measures the distance, and a servo rotates it: build a small radar that shows what's in front of you.
Mechatronics
A robot with 3D-printed parts
With Bambu Lab's CyberBrick kits, you can combine 3D printing and electronics: build a small robot using parts you've printed yourself.
On-device AI
An on-chip AI model
With the Arduino Q Series boards, you can run a lightweight artificial intelligence model directly on the device.
Industrial Robotics
A Trajectory for the Robotic Arm
Program the CR5 cobot so that it moves an object from one point to another, using the gripper or another end effector.

The Tools
Four tools to get you started, from microcontrollers to collaborative robotic arms.
Arduino, including the Q series
Microcontrollers
Programmable microcontrollers for developing embedded systems, used for data acquisition, actuator control, and interactive prototyping. The latest series introduces edge AI-oriented features, enabling the execution of lightweight models directly on the device.
Electronic Components
Sensors, Actuators, and Modules
A set of sensors, actuators, and electronic modules for building interactive circuits and systems, ranging from basic logic to working prototypes.
CyberBrick Kit by Bambu Lab
3D Printing and Electronics
Modular kits for integrating 3D printing and electronics, designed for the development of mechatronic systems and introductory robotics projects.
CR5 Cobot
Industrial Robotics
A 6-axis collaborative robotic arm used for trajectory programming, process automation, and handling applications using interchangeable end effectors.
How to Get Started
1
Become a Member
The membership fee is €60 and includes 25 Asperastra credits: that's enough for one HelloWorld Arduino session.
2
Follow the Arduino HelloWorld
The course starts from scratch and consists of two-hour sessions, with one project at a time. For non-members, the cost is €30 per session.
3
Build Something of Your Own
With an idea and the Lab's components, you can turn a prototype into a working object.
Workshops and Activities
Throughout the year, we organize workshops on robotics and electronics.
Some sessions introduce the basics of programming with Arduino and electronic systems, while others focus on collaborative robotics and automation.
