I see a lot of people (from kids to grown-ups) who want to solder but find it difficult to master. After all, I myself have not been particularly great at this art (or is it science?). It occurred to me it would be great if I build a hobby/home robot that could be taught to master soldering. It would greatly help those wanting to build electronic parts from various components (including for microcontrollers). Obviously, vision would be a very significant aspect, as well as the coordinated motion of a multi-jointed dual-arm robot. I expect this to be a difficult project (need to develop simulation of robot kinematics and dynamics I expect), but the end product will be very cool I am sure and very worthwhile.
