My article will contain comprehensive and "enough to start-over" knowledge of the following parts of robotics. At the end of this series, the follower will be able to boast off his first AI Robot.
Choosing the type of automation control
Selection of hardware
selection of programming language
Preparing basic tools for our practicals
Preparing hardware
Codding of the base framework for any type of robot
Operating some output devices through our computer
Testing our systems for the first time
Interfacing relays and switches with computer in GUI
GUI interfacing of a servo motor with the Computer
GUI interfacing of simple DC variable speed motor
Measuring physical quantities
Measurement of room temperature on Computer
Measuring distance with SONAR
Measuring speeds of motors
Measuring angle between two physical links
Learning some very powerful tools for our robot
Interfacing a camera for measuring distance of objects
Speech synthesize/recognition system for the robots
Face detection
Combining the knowledge; Creating our first robot
Designing/programming of a simple 4DOF Robotic arm
Detecting colored balls in sight and changing them to computer language
Teaching the system to detect faces, respond to voice commands and pick demanded balls.
I have taught two of my fellows the same things. One of them made a humanoid robot, ROBOx. 4feet tall ROBOx was able to walk, talk and interact with things placed around it.
I need feed back to start writing
Its a long, very long article because its intended to contain very basic knowledge for beginners, will be posted in many parts gradually in a couple of weeks. In order to start writing this series, i need to be sure that people will accept it on code project; some parts of the project may not include any code at all (Robot arm design) and may not get accepted by community. I don't want to end up in disappointment after a week or more that moderators just rejected the idea of writing the article on wrong place.

Not all articles need code in them. I have a few without code, and it doesn't make them any less worthwhile. As long as the articles are comprehensive and easy to follow, I reckon you'll have a pretty captive audience, and I would love to see it.

Yes.
Please!!
David Cunningham (the other co-founder of CodeProject) is a huge fan of robotics. It'll tickle him pink to see an article on this.

I'm writing my very first article on this site, and having trouble with editing/writing properly, becouse every time I hit enter key it afects on first row of text (in this case the Introduction title).
I'm using opera browser, tried with IE with same results. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly?

Hi Piyush,
Do you have a link to your article? Please send me the HTML of the original article as well and I'd be happy to take care of it.
Generally speaking though, if you're going to hit the Enter key it is better to do so in the HTML side of the WYSIWYG button, as in the preview pane things can get funky (it's adding an <br /> to the underbelly, and pending what part you're editing, that might get funky).

Thank you for your reply and suggestion, I was not planning to edit in html mode, but seems that is the most correct way to do it.

Hi,
When I try to upload an image in order to insert it into my article, I do see the image in the 'Upload files' section, but the 'Current Files' section still shows the 'No files uploaded' text.
Do I do something wrong or the article editor just does not work with images at the moment?
Thanks,
Alexander

The editor's working fine with images, so it could be an issue related to the recent site update we just did. While the servers get back up to cruising altitude timeouts may occur.
Just a very dumb question: After hitting "Add file", did you click "upload files"?

Hi Chris,
Thank you! Indeed, I did not click the Upload button.
It works as expected now.

I have published an article. It was online but now when I click on the link on my profile page with my articles it is nothing there anymore? What could have happen?
The name of the Article is "Implementation Example of Ranked Search in Asp.NET"

Which link? For me your link to your author bio and the link to your article from your author bio seems to work OK, both while logged in and not.

I think the link only was broken when the article was in the moderation cue. I do not know if this is the intended function or not
|

We're looking into it and if after testing we find it is a moderation queue issue we'll fix it.
Sorry about that.

I click on the link for "HelpBuilder - Visual Studio user friendly documentation by jack.vseumel" and get the message
"This article has not yet been approved for publication by our membership. It should be available soon.
Please go to the .NET Framework Table of Contents to view the list of available articles in this section."
It appears this article was submitted on July 2nd of 2012. How long does it take to approve an article.

That article was not accepted for publication, and is not available.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Thank you for your reply. The message WAS a little confusing.

I am astounded that "Window docker application By MR. AngelMendez | 17 Aug 2012 | Article"[^], has been approved, and published.
There is nothing original in it, and the title is mis-leading: he is not discussing anything to do with "docking," but simply discussing the well known api hack to launch another application inside a C# Windows Form.
imho, that's a very bad thing do in all but the most unusual scenarios: unless the author shows how the Windows Form in C# can inter-operate with the captured application, which would be a tour-de-force of API manipulation, I would guess, but is also of very limited use (the exception being, of course, the whole inter-operation structure is pre-defined, as it is with "Office Automation."
Further, the article first cites someone else's work as the source of where the author discovered the simple fact of how you change a Form's opacity:
"I got this information from Mahesh Chand he made a great article about this here is his link if you want to check it out. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/mahesh/trackbar-in-C-Sharp/."
Then, immediately after that citation, disclaims it: "Actually, I don't remember where I got code My apologies, if you want to use another way then I would suggest looking at Mahesh Chand's article."
The trivial discussions of how you make a Windows Form TopMost, and what a Windows Form TrackBar are: are here elevated to undue importance complete with screenshots.
Unfortunately this is an example of a type of a large number of articles that are posted here that just recite the author's experience of their own personal discovery of something well-known, or are completely unnecessary tutorials, many of them by students who just want the "sublime feeling" of having something published on CP (or want something to put on their resume ?).
This article makes me wish that there were a "Report" button on articles, independent on "ratings" !
What happened here ? There's barely enough material for a Tip/Trick here, if the author would care to post only the already well known API hack for launching another app inside a Windows Form.
best, Bill
