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.

When speech control won't work - why we need to drive

So in the last chapter, we built a Mycroft system to launch behaviors. If you tried to build intents to make the robot stop in time, or drive left or right, you will probably have noticed that even with the clearest speaking, it takes some time to respond.

Speech control also only really works in a quiet room. Any time a robot is out (you would like to drive it somewhere), this is not so useful.

Mycroft is also utterly dependent on having access to the internet. It is one thing to have a small shared network for a robot and a controller, it's another to always require internet access, which can become tricky when not at your home, school, or lab.

An external controller can be responsive, giving you fast control over the robot's movements. With a local network, it won't need external internet access. It can...
