Learn Robotics Programming

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.

Preface

Learn Robotics is about building and programming a robot with smart behaviors. It covers the skills required to makes, and build, a gadget from parts, including how to choose them. This book follows with how to make the code to make those parts do something interesting. The book uses Python, together with a little bit of HTML/CSS and JS.

The technology shown here is intended to include things that are available and affordable, and the code intended to demonstrate concepts, so that these can be used and combined to create even more interesting code and robots.

It combines aspects of being a programmer, with aspects of being a robot maker, with a number of specialist topics such as computer vision and voice assistants thrown in.
