Summary

Learn Robotics Programming covers the basics of building a robot from scratch and implementing AI in the robots. You will be able to implement different sensors and control the robot based on those sensors' output. This book will help you in constructing a robot with the combination of Python, Raspberry Pi and sensors such as distance sensors ...

Learn Robotics Programming Summary

Learn Robotics Programming: Build and control autonomous robots using Raspberry Pi 3 and Python by Danny Staple

Gain experience of building a next-generation collaboration robot

Key Features
  • Get up and running with the fundamentals of robotic programming
  • Program a robot using Python and the Raspberry Pi 3
  • Learn to build a smart robot with interactive and AI-enabled behaviors
Book Description

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.

What you will learn
  • Configure a Raspberry Pi for use in a robot
  • Interface motors and sensors with a Raspberry Pi
  • Implement code to make interesting and intelligent robot behaviors
  • Understand the first steps in AI behavior such as speech recognition visual processing
  • Control AI robots using Wi-Fi
  • Plan the budget for requirements of robots while choosing parts
Who this book is for

Learn Robotics Programming is for programmers, developers, and enthusiasts interested in robotics and developing a fully functional robot. No major experience required just some programming knowledge would be sufficient.

About Danny Staple

Danny Staple builds robots and gadgets as a hobbyist, makes videos about his work with robots, and attends community events such as PiWars and Arduino Day. He has been a professional Python programmer, later moving into DevOps, since 2009, and a software engineer since 2000. He has worked with embedded systems, including embedded Linux systems, throughout the majority of his career. He has been a mentor at a local CoderDojo, where he taught how to code with Python. He has run Lego Robotics clubs with Mindstorms. He has also developed Bounce!, a visual programming language targeted at teaching code using the NodeMCU IoT platform. The robots he has built with his children include TankBot, SkittleBot (now the Pi Wars robot), ArmBot, and SpiderBot.
