DESCRIPTION:
It also has some image-processing capabilities, such as face, motion, and color detection. In the meantime, he learned famous robotic software platformssuch as Robot Operating system (ROS), V-REP, and Actin (a robotic simulation tool)and image processing libraries, such as OpenCV, OpenNI, and PCL. He also knows about robot 3D designing, embedded programming on Arduino, and Stellaris Launchpad. The project was a huge success and got mentioned in visual and print media. He publishes his works on his tech blog. He maintains a personal website (lentinjoseph) and a technology blog called technolabsz (technolabsz). About the AuthorLentin JosephLentin Joseph is an electronics engineer, robotics enthusiast, machine vision expert, embedded programmer, and the fo
William Schreiber said Misleading title, but excellent robotics book. The title of this book is misleading. Yes, there is python in the book and the examples are written in python, but the book is really about how to take existing technology and build an advanced robot at a price most hobbyists could probably afford. Most of us build a line follower, a light avoider, a robot that bounces off walls and then randomly turns etc, but moving to that next step of building a robot that knows where it is and can find its way back (SLAM algorithm) is something else most builders never get to since it is a hard nut to crack. He gives a blue print for an advanced robot which can be built for well unde. Eric said A different approach for learning ROS. This book differs from the previous books of ROS from PACKT in such a way that it explain to build an autonomous robot from scratch and teach how to apply ROS to it. It will be useful if we are planning to learn ROS and build a robot along with it. MUST READ BOOK Achu Wilson This is one of the best books for learning robotics practically. The highlight of this book is that it deals with all the realms of robotics, mechanical CAD design, electronics circuit design, embedded firmware development, high level image and speech processing, autonomous navigation using AI techniques ,and much more. It also gives an intro to using ROS for a beginner. a MUST READ BOOK.
The main feature of this robot was that it could communicate with people and reply intelligently. It also has some image-processing capabilities, such as face, motion, and color detection. He got his bachelor's degree in electronics and communication engineering at the Federal Institute of Science and Technology (FISAT), Kerala. In his final year engineering project, he created a social robot, which can interact with people. He maintains a personal website (lentinjoseph) and a technology blog
Readers are assumed to be new to robotics but should have experience with Python.What You Will LearnUnderstand the core concepts and terminologies of roboticsCreate 2D and 3D drawings of robots using freeware such as LibreCAD and BlenderSimulate your robot using ROS and GazeboBuild robot hardware from the requirementsExplore a diverse range of actuators and its interfacingInterface various robotic sensors to robotsSet up and program OpenCV, OpenNI, and PCL to process 2D/3D visual dataLearn speech processing and synthesis using PythonApply artificial intelligence to robots using PythonBuild a robot control GUI using Qt and PythonCalibration and testing of robotIn DetailLearning about robotics will become an increasingly essential skill as it becomes a ubiquitous part of life. It also discusses various robot software frameworks and how to go about coding the robot using Python and its framework. Even though robotics is a complex subject, several other tools along with Python can help you design a project to creat
