Getting started in robotics does not have to be difficult. This book is an insightful and rewarding introduction to robotics and a catalyst for further directed study. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully updated to cover the Raspberry Pi 4 with its better processor and memory, discover new ways to work with Computer Vision. You'll be led step by step through the process of building a robot that uses the power of a Linux based computer paired with the simplicity of Arduino. You’ll learn why the Raspberry Pi is a great choice for a robotics platform; its strengths as well as its shortcomings; how to overcome these limitations by implementing an Arduino; and the basics of the Python programming language as well as some of the more powerful features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the Raspberry Pi you can give your project the power of a Linux computer, while Arduino makes interacting with sensors and motors very easy. These two boards are complimentary in their functions; where one falters the other performs admirably.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also includes references to other great works to help further your growth in the exciting, and now accessible, field of smart robotics. As a bonus, the final chapter of the book demonstrates the real power of the Raspberry Pi by implementing a basic vision system. Using OpenCV and a standard USB web cam, you will build a robot that can chase a ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall Raspbian, the operating system that drives the Raspberry Pi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive motors through an I2C motor controller\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead data through sensors attached to an Arduino\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho This Book Is For\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003eHobbyists and students looking for a rapid start in robotics.
