This is the code repository for Python Robotics Projects, published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the book from start to finish.
Robotics is a fast-growing industry. Multiple surveys state that investment in the field has increased tenfold in the last 6 years, and is set to become a $100-billion sector by 2020. Robots are prevalent throughout all industries, and they are all set to be a part of our domestic lives. This book starts with the installation and basic steps in configuring a robotic controller. You'll then move on to setting up your environment to use Python with the robotic controller. You'll dive deep into building simple robotic projects, such as a pet-feeding robot, and more complicated projects, such as machine learning enabled home automation system (Jarvis), vision processing based robots and a self-driven robotic vehicle using Python.
All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
for i in range(3):
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.HIGH)
sleep(.5)
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.LOW)
sleep(.5)
sleep(1)
This book is for those who have a will to learn robotics and get familiar with the latest technology using the latest programming language. Age is no limit whether you are 12 years young or 60 years old; you can read this book and convert your ideas into reality.
