Learn Robotics Programming

By: Danny Staple

Overview of this book

We live in an age where the most difficult human tasks are now automated. Smart and intelligent robots, which will perform different tasks precisely and efficiently, are the requirement of the hour. A combination of Raspberry Pi and Python works perfectly when making these kinds of robots. Learn Robotics Programming starts by introducing you to the basic structure of a robot, along with how to plan, build, and program it. As you make your way through the book, you will gradually progress to adding different outputs and sensors, learning new building skills, and writing code for interesting behaviors with sensors. You’ll also be able to update your robot, and set up web, phone, and Wi-Fi connectivity in order to control it. By the end of the book, you will have built a clever robot that can perform basic artificial intelligence (AI) operations.

Taking Your Robot Programming Skills Further

You've now learned some of the basic building skills and some of the more interesting programming tricks with robotics. But this robot is only really suitable for a lab, it's not really ready for competitions or touring, and this is only the start of a robotics journey. There is also a large community of robot builders and makers, coming from many angles. How can you be part of this?

In this chapter, you will learn about the following:

  • Where to find other people building robots online and become part of communities
  • Where to actually join and share spaces with other robot builders and demonstrate or build with them
  • Further building skills and where to continue learning about robot construction
  • Places to develop knowledge about OpenCV and computer vision
  • Where further study is available on machine learning and AI
