Overview of this book

We live in an age where the most difficult human tasks are now automated. Smart and intelligent robots, which will perform different tasks precisely and efficiently, are the requirement of the hour. A combination of Raspberry Pi and Python works perfectly when making these kinds of robots. Learn Robotics Programming starts by introducing you to the basic structure of a robot, along with how to plan, build, and program it. As you make your way through the book, you will gradually progress to adding different outputs and sensors, learning new building skills, and writing code for interesting behaviors with sensors. You’ll also be able to update your robot, and set up web, phone, and Wi-Fi connectivity in order to control it. By the end of the book, you will have built a clever robot that can perform basic artificial intelligence (AI) operations.

Technical requirements

For this chapter, you will need the following items:

  • The robot with the pan-and-tilt mechanism from Chapter 12, Programming Encoders with Python.
  • The Python code for the robot up to Chapter 12, Programming Encoders with Python, which can be downloaded from the GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-Robotics-Fundamentals-of-Robotics-Programming/tree/master/chapter12. We will be extending and modifying this for new functionality.
  • The Raspberry Pi Camera v2.
  • A 300 mm-long Pi Camera cable. This is because the cable included with the camera is too short. Be sure this is a Raspberry Pi 3 cable, and not a Pi Zero cable.
  • 2 M2 bolts and M2 nuts.
  • A small square of thin cardboard—a cereal box will do.
  • A small jeweler's screwdriver.
  • A kids' bowling set—the type with differently colored pins (plain, with no pictures).
  • A well lit space...
