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

  • A computer with internet access and Wi-Fi
  • The robot, a Raspberry Pi, and code from the previous chapter
  • An APA102 or SK9822 LED arrangement
  • A logic level converter (also known as a shifter) with at least two channels
  • Some double-sided sticky tape
  • Precut jumper wires for breadboard connections
  • Optional: If the level converter or LED stick comes with separate headers, you will need the following:
    • A soldering iron and stand
    • Soldering iron tip cleaning coils
    • Some solder
    • Safety glasses
    • Fume extractor
    • A well-lit stable desk to solder at
    • A second breadboard (to use to hold the headers in when soldering)

The code for this chapter can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learn-Robotics-Fundamentals-of-Robotics-Programming/tree/master/chapter9.
