Hands-On Robotics with JavaScript

By: Kassandra Perch

Overview of this book

JavaScript has an effective set of frameworks and libraries that provide support for embedded device programming and the robotics ecosystem. You’ll be able to put your JavaScript knowledge to work with this practical robotics guide. The book starts by guiding you in setting up an environment to program robots with JavaScript and Rasberry Pi 3. You will build beginner-level projects, such as a line-following robot, and then upgrade your robotics skills with a series of projects that help you get to grips with the Johnny-Five library. As you progress, you’ll learn how you can improve your projects by enabling advanced hardware components and programming concepts. You’ll even build an advanced AI-enabled robot, connect its NodeBots to the internet, create a NodeBots Swarm, and explore Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT). By the end of this book, you will have enhanced your robot programming skills by building a range of simple to complex projects.

Summary


In this chapter, we completed our NodeBots journey together by learning how to get our NodeBots to talk to each other (or themselves). Then, we delved into the wider world of Johnny-Five and NodeBots. Finally, we looked at good reads to continue your quest for knowledge regarding electronics and related skills.

I love to see what my readers build—please feel free to reach me at @nodebotani.st or @nodebotanist on twitter to show me what you have come up with—even if it's a blinking LED and you're just proud to show it, I'm always happy to see it.

Thank you so much for reading. I appreciate my readers and wish you all the best!
