Taking Your Robot Programming Skills Further

You've now learned some of the basic building skills and some of the more interesting programming tricks with robotics. But this robot is only really suitable for a lab, it's not really ready for competitions or touring, and this is only the start of a robotics journey. There is also a large community of robot builders and makers, coming from many angles. How can you be part of this?

In this chapter, you will learn about the following:

  • Where to find other people building robots online and become part of communities
  • Where to actually join and share spaces with other robot builders and demonstrate or build with them
  • Further building skills and where to continue learning about robot construction
  • Places to develop knowledge about OpenCV and computer vision
  • Where further study is available on machine learning and AI
