It all started with frustration.
Not with robotics, I love robotics, but with how it’s taught.
In my early engineering years, I noticed a pattern. People around me, classmates included, would get really excited about building robots… until they hit the wall. The theory felt too heavy. The tutorials were either painfully oversimplified or way too technical. The ones written by actual experts? Brilliant, but exhausting. The AI-generated ones? Just fluff.
And I’ve been there too.
Reading academic papers that made me feel like I needed a PhD in “decoding papers” first.
That’s when I started asking myself:
Can I make learning robotics easier, more fun, and engaging, something that helps fix the problem of learners giving up?
So I started Qrydium.
Not as a startup. Not as a polished business plan.
Just as a personal space to write, illustrate, and explain robotics the way I wish it had been explained to me. clearly, visually, and with just enough techy flavor to feel real.
Why I Do This
Every article I publish on Qrydium takes real effort. I read datasheets. I sketch diagrams. I rewrite until it flows. It’s not easy, writing and researching take time. And honestly? Sometimes it’s tiring.
But when I hit “publish” and read through the final post, when the diagrams are in place, when the explanation clicks, I feel something I rarely felt in class: actual excitement to learn.
That’s the dopamine I chase.
And the one I want to give to others, whether you’re a student, a hobbyist, or just curious.
The Bigger Picture
Right now, Qrydium is a growing collection of accessible, well-researched robotics guides.
In the future? I’m thinking bigger. Maybe a digital lab. Maybe structured courses. Maybe tools and kits.
But for now, the goal is simple:
To help people make sense of robots, one clear, fun, and human-friendly article at a time.
About me, the author
Hi 👋! I’m Mohamed Amine Belkcem, a robotics & mechatronics enthusiast based in Morocco, and currently the president of ENSA Kenitra’s Mechatronics Club.
I’ve competed in national robotics events, run club workshops, and spent too many hours debugging Arduino code with nothing but caffeine and hope. Qrydium is both my notebook and my playground, a place where I learn by teaching, and hopefully help others do the same.
