Raspberry Pi Robotics Essentials
By Richard Grimmett
This book is a fast-paced guide that will show you how to use Raspberry Pi technology to build a biped robot that can interact with its environment. We begin by explaining the basics of getting and running your Raspberry Pi, ready for installation on your biped system. Next, you'll be introduced to the art of creating a biped platform mechanism. You will then learn to develop a vision system for your robot, as well as a way through which you can control and monitor it. By the end of this book, you will have learned enough to build a complex robot that can walk, transform, find its way, and -see- its environment.
