Summary


You now have a robot that can walk! You can also add other sensors, such as the ones you discovered for your wheeled robot, sensors that can watch for barriers, or others that know the direction you are moving in.

In the next chapter, you'll start on a new robot. You'll combine a Raspberry Pi Zero with a toy robot and construct a project with the ability to speak and respond to voice commands.
