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.

Summary

In this chapter, we've learned how to connect the motors to the Raspberry Pi via the motor control board. We've then powered it up and downloaded, then installed the libraries for it. We've demonstrated our motors work, and then started building a first layer of code for our behaviors to use, while seeing how a layer like that could be made for different robots. We saw our robot move in a path and tuned it, while finding out some of the shortcomings from using motors without any sensors.

In the following chapters, we will start adding sensors and building behaviors using these sensors.
