Robots are entering various areas of our lives, so robotics are becoming more and more important. Learning about robots, their building and programming is a rather complex but fascinating field. Its mastery requires effort, but to design an easy-to-use interface, all you need to do is use several utility programs and the Python language. In this way, you can design the behavior of the robot, determine how it will go to the target, respond to the signals of the surrounding world, or make him wait for instructions.

With this book you can learn how to use the Python language and several popular frameworks used in robotics, such as the ROS system , to build autonomous mobile robots. Other programming frameworks are discussed, including those for Python. To simultaneously demonstrate the practical use of the material presented, a step-by-step process of building a robot-serving ChefBot is discussed, which, for example, can serve meals at home, in a hotel or restaurant.

This book presents:

  • Concise basics of robotics and principles of robot software design
  • Aspects of 2D and 3D CAD design using LibreCAD and Blender programs
  • Building 3D models using API Blender for Python
  • Issues of the robot's hardware design layer
  • Principles of robot sensor support, including programming of vision sensors
  • Support for speech recognition and speech synthesis using Python and ROS
  • Implementation of artificial intelligence using Python
  • Problem of robot testing and calibration

See how fascinating robot programming is!
