Python Robotics Projects: Build smart and collaborative robots using Python

Book Description

Leverage the power of Python to build DIY robotic projects

Key Features

• Design, build, and stimulate collaborative robots
• Build high-end robotics projects such as a customized personal Jarvis
• Leverage the power of Python and ROS for DIY robotic projects

Book Description

Robotics is a fast-growing industry. Multiple surveys state that investment in the field has increased tenfold in the last 6 years, and is set to become a $100-billion sector by 2020. Robots are prevalent throughout all industries, and they are all set to be a part of our domestic lives. This book starts with the installation and basic steps in configuring a robotic controller. You’ll then move on to setting up your environment to use Python with the robotic controller. You’ll dive deep into building simple robotic projects, such as a pet-feeding robot, and more complicated projects, such as machine learning enabled home automation system (Jarvis), vision processing based robots and a self-driven robotic vehicle using Python.

By the end of this book, you’ll know how to build smart robots using Python.

What you will learn

• Get to know the basics of robotics and its functions
• Walk through interface components with microcontrollers
• Integrate robotics with the IoT environment
• Build projects using machine learning
• Implement path planning and vision processing
• Interface your robots with Bluetooth
