Key Features

Boost your Python skills with practical examples to program complex robot behaviors and functionalities Build a robotics learning and exploration platform Leverage AI neural network models for voice recognition and synthesis, and OpenCV for computer vision

Book DescriptionLearn Robotics Programming, Third Edition, addresses a common challenge for developers, hobbyists, and newcomers: turning robotics ideas into building and programming real, functional robots. While many resources focus either on theory or isolated components, it can be difficult to bring together hardware, software, and intelligent behavior into a working robotic system. This book provides a structured, hands-on path to designing and building robots using Raspberry Pi and Python. You’ll start by assembling a mobile robot and setting up its core systems, then progressively add capabilities such as motor control, sensor integration, and remote operation through web interfaces. As you advance, you’ll implement vision and voice features using OpenCV and ML voice models and explore intelligent behaviors, including localisation and sensor fusion, to help your robot navigate and respond to its environment. By the end of the book, you’ll have built a fully functional robot and developed the skills to design, program, and extend your own robotic systems. Whether you are getting started or already have programming experience, you’ll learn how to combine hardware and software into cohesive solutions and apply practical techniques for creating responsive, intelligent robots.
*Email sign-up and proof of purchase requiredWhat you will learn

Manage your robots with control panels and view their state with interactive dashboards Integrate sensor systems for dynamic robot navigation and interaction Learn voice recognition with Piper and Vosk, and build computer vision with OpenCV Explore encoder-based localisation with the BNO055 module to enhance your robot's movement accuracy Automate installation and updates with scripts to keep your robot up to date effortlessly Use practical algorithms to process sensor data to guide robot behavior

Who this book is forThis robotics book is ideal for programmers, developers, and robotics enthusiasts with at least beginner coding skills who are eager to design, build, and program cutting-edge robots using autonomous robot algorithms along with AI models. Basic knowledge of the Python programming language will help you understand the concepts covered in this robot programming book more effectively.
