Python Robotics Projects

<p><strong>Leverage the power of Python to build DIY robotic projects</strong></p><p><strong>Key Features:</strong></p><p>- Design build and stimulate collaborative robots</p><p>- Build high-end robotics projects such as a customized personal Jarvis</p><p>- Leverage the power of Python and ROS for DIY robotic projects</p><p><strong>Book Description:</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>By the end of this book you'll know how to build smart robots using Python.</p><p><strong>What You Will Learn:</strong></p><p>- Get to know the basics of robotics and its functions</p><p>- Walk through interface components with microcontrollers</p><p>- Integrate robotics with the IoT environment</p><p>- Build projects using machine learning</p><p>- Implement path planning and vision processing</p><p>- Interface your robots with Bluetooth</p><p><strong>Who this book is for:</strong></p><p>If building robots is your dream then this book is made for you. Prior knowledge of Python would be an added advantage.</p><p><strong>Table of Contents</strong></p><p>- Robotics 101</p><p>- Using GPIOs as Input</p><p>- Making a Gardener Robot</p><p>- Basics of Motors</p><p>- Making a Pet Feeding Robot</p><p>- Bluetooth-Controlled Robotic Car</p><p>- Sensor Interface for Obstacle Avoidance</p><p>- Making Your Own Area Scanner</p><p>- Vision Processing</p><p>- Making a Guard Robot</p><p>- Basic Switching</p><p>- Recognizing Humans with Jarvis</p><p>- Making Jarvis IOT Enabled</p><p>- Giving Voice to Jarvis</p><p>- Gesture Recognition</p><p>- Machine Learning</p><p>- Gesture-Controlled Robotic Vehicle</p><p>- Making a Robotic Arm</p>
