Beginning Robotics with Raspberry Pi and Arduino

Beschreibung

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. 

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 alsoincludes 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.

“It is a good book to promote the use of robotics in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The book provides readers with step-by-step instructions for configuring the hardware to be able to program the robot, installing the Raspbian operating system, and setting up remote access to Raspberry Pi to program or configure it. … it is a very suitable introductory book to mobile robotics, mainly for pre-university courses.” (Jose Carlos Moreno Ubeda, Computing Reviews, March 14, 2019)
