Python Robotics Projects

By: Prof. Diwakar Vaish

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 5. Making a Pet Feeding Robot

In this chapter, we will take a step further in terms of integrating the sensors to make a robot that feeds your pet whenever you have programmed it to. It is fairly simple to build; you might need some DIY skills and a few old cardboards to prepare this project. Keep scissors and adhesives handy, as they might be needed here. 

There are times when you are not at home throughout the day and your pet keeps waiting for you to feed him. For such a situation, this robot would be of great help; it will feed your pet at specific times and also make sure that your pet gets the right quantity of food every single time. This can even be helpful on a daily basis. As it will never forget to feed your pet, no matter what.
