Summary

In this chapter, we explored the field of computer vision and successfully integrated it into our A.R.E.S. robot car. By incorporating this technology, A.R.E.S. can now process and interpret visual data. We also added text messaging functionality to A.R.E.S., turning our robot car into a true IoT device.

Although not implemented, we could easily imagine how we would take A.R.E.S. to the next level by incorporating obstacle avoidance based on the data we get back from YOLO. We may also imagine how we could make A.R.E.S. follow a certain object if desired.

This chapter marks the end of our IoT journey together. Throughout, we have explored the world of IoT while utilizing and building our programming skills – from using the Sense HAT to serve up web services data to utilizing LoRa for long-range communication to implementing advanced features such as computer vision in a robot car we control using the internet. This adventure has not only taught us technical know...
