Part 1: Building Blocks for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence
The first section of this book begins with the foundations of robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), covering what AI is and how it is used. Then we start to define our robot systems and talk about control. In the second chapter, we look at robot anatomy, the parts of a robot, and discuss autonomy principles and the Subsumption Architecture concept. You'll get a primer on the Robotics Operating System (ROS) and our single-board supercomputer. Finally, we show a systematic process for robot design using systems engineering principles and storyboards.
This part has the following chapters:
- Chapter 1, The Foundation of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence
- Chapter 2, Setting Up Your Robot
- Chapter 3, Conceptualizing the Practical Robot Design Process
