Build a Robot Cost depends on the type of robot We are trying to make. If someone want to make a simple programmable line tracer robot, He can get all the parts like Arduino, motors, Chasis, Battery and other related stuff in 30 – 40 $.
Its parts can range between an estimated $25,000 and $40,000, and its systems with application components cost between $50,000 and$75,000 For a simple AI robot.
