Learn how to use a Raspberry Pi in conjunction with an Arduino to
build a basic robot with advanced capabilities. 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. Fully 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. With 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. The 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. What You'll Learn Install Raspbian,
the operating system that drives the Raspberry Pi Drive motors
through an I2C motor controller Read data through sensors attached
to an Arduino Who This Book Is For Hobbyists and students looking
for a rapid start in robotics. It assumes no technical background.
Readers are guided to pursue the areas that interest them in more
detail as they learn.
