In this chapter, using all basics that you learned so far and also by introducing IR proximity sensor, we were able to take an advanced step of developing our robotic car to detect obstacles and accordingly change the directions. In the next chapter, we will study how to make our own area scanner—see you there!

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.
