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 6. Bluetooth-Controlled Robotic Car

We have come a long way; now it's time to go ahead and make something even better. The world is going all gaga over the inception of autonomous cars and within this decade this will become the new normal. There is so much going on in these vehicles. Multiple sensors, GPS, and telemetry are all calculated in real time to make sure that the car is on the right course and is being driven by the system safely on the road, so making a robotic vehicle proves to be an ideal way to learn robotics and future technologies. In this book, we will always try to make technologies that are not only as good as the present technologies but in some ways even better. So, let's go ahead and get to making this autonomous vehicle one step at a time.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Basics of the vehicle
  • Getting the vehicle ready
  • Controlling the vehicle by Bluetooth
