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.

Extending into machine Learning

Some of the smartest sounding types of robotics are those involved in machine learning. The code used throughout this book has not used machine learning, instead using well-known algorithms. The PID controller is a system that makes adjustments to read a value, but it is not machine learning. However, optimizing PID values might come from a machine learning algorithm. We used Haar Cascades to detect faces; this was also not machine learning, but a machine learning system was probably used to generate the Cascades. Machine learning tends to be great at optimizing tasks and discovering and matching patterns, but poor at making fully-formed intelligent-seeming behavior.

The basic overall idea with many machine learning systems involves having a set of starting examples, with some information on which are matches and which are not. The machine is expected...
