Python Robotics Projects: Build smart and collaborative robots using Python

<p><b>Leverage the power of Python to build DIY robotic projects</b></p><h4>Key Features</h4><ul><li>Design, build, and stimulate collaborative robots</li><li>Build high-end robotics projects such as a customized personal Jarvis</li><li>Leverage the power of Python and ROS for DIY robotic projects</li></ul><h4>Book Description</h4><p>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.</p><p>By the end of this book, you'll know how to build smart robots using Python.</p><h4>What you will learn</h4><ul><li>Get to know the basics of robotics and its functions</li><li>Walk through interface components with microcontrollers</li><li>Integrate robotics with the IoT environment</li><li>Build projects using machine learning</li><li>Implement path planning and vision processing</li><li>Interface your robots with Bluetooth</li></ul><h4>Who This Book Is For</h4><p>If building robots is your dream, then this book is made for you. Prior knowledge of Python would be an added advantage.</p><h4>Table of Contents</h4><ol><li>Robotics 101</li><li>Using GPIOs as Inputs</li><li>Making a Gardener Robot</li><li>Basics of Motors</li><li>Making a Pet Feeding Robot</li><li>Bluetooth Controlled Robotic Car</li><li>Sensor interface for obstacle avoidance</li><li>Making your own Area scanner</li><li>Vision Processing</li><li>Building a Guard Robot</li><li>Basic Switching</li><li>Making Jarvis recognize Humans</li><li>Making Jarvis IOT Enabled</li><li>Giving Voice to Jarvis</li><li>Gesture Recognition</li><li>Adding Machine Learning</li><li>Gesture Controlled Robotic Vehicle</li><li>Building a Robotic Arm</li></ol>
