- What can happen if the test track is too shiny or not dark enough?
- The robot will fail to detect the track and may drive straight over it or jitter as it partially detects it.
- What are the other names for GND or G pin?
- Ground, "-", negative, and "-ve"
- Why would strong sunlight interfere with this sensor?
- Sunlight can flood the sensor with IR light, drowning out the sensors' own beam.
- In event-driven programming, such as we've used in this chapter, what do you call the section of code that will be called when an event is triggered?
- Code triggered by an event is known as a handler.

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.
