What we have developed so far is a kind of UGV and not typically a robot, although we can configure it to be one. To develop an autonomous and manual robot, we normally design a robot to perform a certain task, however we keep manual control as well so that we can take back control whenever we desire. More appropriately, it may not be fully manual nor fully autonomous. Think of a drone. We just specify the waypoints on the map and the drone follows the waypoints. That's one of the classic examples. Now the reader's job is to combine the line follower robot discussed previously and manual robot discussed here and combine it into a single platform.

Overview of this book
Change the way you look at embedded electronics with Intel Edison. It is a small computing platform packed with a set of robust features to deliver hands-on performance, durability, and software support.
This book is a perfect place to kickstart development and rapid prototyping using Intel Edison. It will start by introducing readers to the Intel Edison board and explaining how to get started with it. You will learn how to build a mini weather station, which will help you to acquire temperature and smoke level and push it to the IoT platform. Then you will see how to build a home automation device and control your appliances using an Android app. Furthermore, we will build a security system using a webcam to detect faces and perform voice recognition. Toward the end, the book will demonstrate how you can build
two robots, which will be based on different line sensing sensors and can be controlled by a PC.
The book will guide the readers through each and every step of execution of a project, using Intel Edison.
