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.
An Arduino might be a tiny computer but it can be used as the foundation for a huge range of projects. In this course,we’ll show you how just some of the projects that are possible with an Arduino. From robotics to secret agent gadgets,we’re pretty confident that this course will get you thinking creatively – and inspire you to create your very own new projects using the Arduino hacking skills you learn.
This course,combines both text and video content – it’s made up of three modules to help organize your learning. In the first module we’ll show you how to build three different Arduino projects. All of these will not only get you up and running with something practical,they’ll also help you better understand how the Arduino works. Find out how to develop a home automation system and even build a robot!
In the second module we’ll go one step further to help you get creative as you learn how to program LEDs with your Arduino. You’ll find out how to build a mood lamp and a remote-controlled TV backlight,before going on to make a sound controlled LED Christmas tree that makes use of sound visualization.
Finally,the third module takes you from stylish design into espionage,as you learn how to create neat secret agent gadgets with your Arduino. Find out how to build an alarm system,a fingerprint sensor,even open a lock with a text message. And that’s not all – but to find out more you’ll have to dive in!
