Key benefits

  • Get up and running with robotics by building your first intelligent robot using Python and Raspberry Pi
  • Learn to integrate sensors, motors, and wireless controls to create interactive, autonomous behaviors powered by real-world input
  • Discover beginner-friendly AI concepts like speech recognition and image processing, and control your robot remotely using Wi-Fi or mobile devices

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.

Who is this book for?

This book is ideal for beginner programmers, developers, and tech enthusiasts interested in robotics and developing a fully functional robot. Whether you're a self-learner or a maker with an interest in automation, this hands-on guide will help you build real working robots from scratch. No prior experience in robotics or electronics is required — just basic programming knowledge and a curiosity to learn.

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

I successfully built a small robot which is controlled by a Raspberry Pi computer board, using this book! What fun!The author's explanations and instructions are very clear. Make sure you read his recommendations for the hardware devices that are attached to the robot.Please note that in the picture, are two items that I added myself, and which are NOT in the book:1) The LCD screen at the back. I'm using it to display the robot's WIFI IP address.2) The switchboard at right front. I designed and created it myself, so I can power the robot either from the onboard battery pack, or from a plug-in power supply.

This book is excellent for anyone wanting to begin their self-learning journey into robotics. Easy to read, but certainly not intended for those who just want a light read before bed, you will have to be attentive on this one. However, this get you robotic literate in no time. Recommended!
