Congratulations — you’ve completed the MicroPython Robotics Projects with the Raspberry Pi Pico course!
You’ve gone from individual components to a functioning robot that can sense, move, react, and even be controlled wirelessly. That’s a huge achievement in the world of physical computing!
✅ What You’ve Learned
By completing this course, you’ve gained experience with:
Controlling DC motors using H-bridge drivers
Reading input from IR and ultrasonic sensors
Programming autonomous and reactive behaviors
Mounting and wiring a two-wheeled robot chassis
Using a servo to scan the environment
Adding remote control via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Building and testing a complete robotics project
🚀 What’s Next?
Here are some ways you can take your skills further:
🔧 Build Smarter Robots
Add encoders to track distance and speed
Explore PID control for smoother motion
Experiment with multiple sensor types (light, temperature, compass, etc.)
🧠 Add Logic and AI
Use conditionals to make more complex decisions
Try micropython libraries for machine learning at the edge
Implement basic mapping or obstacle memory
🕸️ Connect to the Cloud
Send sensor data to a web dashboard
Control your robot over the internet
Log your robot’s movements for analysis
🤖 Explore Other Microcontrollers
Try MicroPython on ESP32 or other boards
Compare features and performance
Use additional hardware like cameras or GPS modules
