In this chapter, we looked at two different techniques for controlling the robot using a laptop. In the first technique, we used the ncurses library to take input from the keyboard to move the robot accordingly. In the second technique, we used the QT Creator IDE to create GUI buttons, and then used these to move the robot in different directions.
In the next chapter, we will install OpenCV software on our Raspberry Pi. After that, we will use the Raspberry Pi camera to record pictures and videos.
