Description

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, you'll 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, you'll add different outputs and sensors, learn robot building skills, and write code to add autonomous behavior using sensors and a camera. You'll also be able to upgrade your robot with Wi-Fi connectivity to control it using a smartphone. Finally, you'll understand how you can apply the skills that you've learned to visualize, lay out, build, and code your future robot building projects. By the end of this book, you'll 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 you've learned.

Who is this book for?

This second edition of Learn Robotics Programming is for programmers, developers, and robotics enthusiasts who want to develop a fully functional robot and leverage AI to build interactive robots.

The book covers a lot of the basic topics, with a very educational and hands on approach. It is well structured, and the different subjects are built on each other, nicely linking on each chapter.It does not go too deep in any of the concepts, so it won't make it as a reference book. But to be fair, it covers so many areas that will make impossible to have all the detailed info in one place.It's definitely written for enthusiastic people willing to build their first robot, no matter how much experience you have (or not) in electronics.Although for an electronic geek it might be a bit shallow, it's a great option for going back to the basics and get fun with your children. I passed to my older son, who started reading it, and I am helping him to build his first robot project. It's a great chance for sharing some time and develop their interest in science!

This book starts by clearly explaining robotics concepts, and goes on through adding movement and sensors, to communication. It's all based on the Raspberry Pi so the parts list will be affordable for most. I'm now following this author to see what else he comes up with. Definitely recommend this book.

Anders May 18, 2021

This is a very useful book for robotics lovers, even for beginners.The author introduces different kinds of robots, actuators, sensors, hw/sw blocks that are useful in a robot, for beginners; and the method of building a robot with Raspberry Pi step by step.Detailed hw and sw configurations to control robot motors and sensors with python from easier level to difficult level are included. Practical experiments of obstacle avoidance, color displaying, servomotor control, etc. are also included. Challenging experiments, i.e. robot vision sensors, voice communication with robot, remote control, are also provided.Besides, robotics related theories, like PID feedback control theory, color RGB theory, OO programming skills (codes in GitHub), IMU.All in all, this is a book of very inclusive and deep analysis of robotics.

In August I bought three basic stuff: 1 Raspberry pi 4 and 2 books. One book to learn Python and then this book to learn robotic programming. What a combination!!!! This book is fantastic. English is not my first language, and this book is writing in a very direct and easy way to understand what it is being explained, it is easy to follow. I have read almost one third of the book and I have learned how to communicate my laptop to my raspberry in wireless way, program everything on laptop and then transfer everything through wifi to the raspberry. Even Github, I didn't know what it was and this book help me to understand what is that for providing a basic introduction. And the most incredible and have been building from nothing a robot, it is still basic and I can't stop, I just want to advance next each chapter. If needed, on the editor website you will find all the programs from each chapter for the robot programming. You just need to register to their website to get access to them.

This is a very good and easy to read book. It has a very hands-on approach to robotics and it's oriented at sparking that creative drive to build and learn by doing.I think this could be greatly enjoyed by young people and would be a good introduction book for those interested in robotics. I got the digital print but I think it's worth having in your shelf! I recommend it.
