Learn Robotics Programming

By: Danny Staple

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.

Upgrading the menu and displaying code for full headless

We are now able to drive our robot from the phone, but the menu doesn't seem very touch friendly. It also will not successfully run any of the behaviors with displays using Flask. We will make the menu buttons bigger and more touch friendly, using styles similar to our manual drive behavior. The menu can also load our server page after clicking a behavior with a server like this one, or the visual tracking behaviors from the last chapter.

Making menu modes compatible with Flask behaviors

If you've already tried running the Flask-based behaviors (any of the visual processing, and the manual drive) in the menu, you will have noticed some very odd behavior indeed...
