Overview of this book

Robotics is a fast-growing industry. Multiple surveys state that investment in the field has increased tenfold in the last 6 years, and is set to become a $100-billion sector by 2020. Robots are prevalent throughout all industries, and they are all set to be a part of our domestic lives. This book starts with the installation and basic steps in configuring a robotic controller. You'll then move on to setting up your environment to use Python with the robotic controller. You'll dive deep into building simple robotic projects, such as a pet-feeding robot, and more complicated projects, such as machine learning enabled home automation system (Jarvis), vision processing based robots and a self-driven robotic vehicle using Python. By the end of this book, you'll know how to build smart robots using Python.

Chapter 13. Making Jarvis IoT Enabled

There was a time when we used to imagine controlling the world with our fingertips. Now, this imagination has become a reality. With the advent of smartphones, we have been doing stuff which one could have only imagined until a decade back. With mobile phones becoming smart, the industry and businesses have also tried their best to keep up with the disruptive change. However, there is one part that is still lagging behind. Which is that part? Your home!

Think about what you can control in your home using your smartphone? Not many things! There are some devices that can turn on or off a bunch of devices such as your AC. However, the list is exhaustive. So, with all the knowledge gained in the previous chapters and the powerful hardware in our hands, why don't we become the trendsetters and the disrupters and make something that is still just a part of our imagination.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Basics of Internet of Things (IoT...
