摘要：AbstractThe reuse of materials is mainly limited in the separation of valuable materials from mechanical and electronics scrap, but there is another opportunity in using the mechatronics scrap, to build robots, the robots build from scrap are limited to its function and ability but they are cost effective and building them can be very educational for students in mechatronics field. One of the robot family built for University needs is Beggar Robot. Begging is a practice of asking a favor with no return back, favors can be monetary but also gifts, food etc. The idea behind beggar robot comes from a Slovenian artist Sašo Sedlaček, who build some of these robots in different countries but the technical solution and the building of this particular robot was done by us. The robot was built from old computer materials such as the computer cases to build the body, CD rom to build the hands, and old monitor to replace the face, and cheap electronics and open source control boards. Based on fact that building robots with almost zero cost we can conclude will provide a very good learning experience and also serve as a gateway to get into building robotics from e-scrap.
