We live in an age where the most complex or repetitive tasks are automated. Smart robots have the potential to revolutionize how we perform all kinds of tasks with high accuracy and efficiency. With this second edition of Learn Robotics Programming, youll see how a combination of the Raspberry Pi and Python can be a great starting point for robot programming.The book starts by introducing you to the basic structure of a robot and shows you how to design, build, and program it. As you make your way through the book, youll add different outputs and sensors, learn robot building skills, and write code to add autonomous behavior using sensors and a camera. Youll also be able to upgrade your robot with Wi-Fi connectivity to control it using a smartphone. Finally, youll understand how you can apply the skills that youve learned to visualize, lay out, build, and code your future robot building projects.By the end of this book, youll have built an interesting robot that can perform basic artificial intelligence operations and be well versed in programming robots and creating complex robotics projects using what youve learned.
