This is the code repository for Learn Robotics Programming – Second Edition, published by Packt.

Build and control AI-enabled autonomous robots using the Raspberry Pi and Python

We live in an age where the most complex or repetitive tasks are automated. Smart robots have the potential to revolutionize how we perform all kinds of tasks with high accuracy and efficiency. With this second edition of Learn Robotics Programming, you'll see how a combination of the Raspberry Pi and Python can be a great starting point for robot programming.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Leverage the features of the Raspberry Pi OS
• Discover how to configure a Raspberry Pi to build an AI-enabled robot
• Interface motors and sensors with a Raspberry Pi
• Code your robot to develop engaging and intelligent robot behavior
• Explore AI behavior such as speech recognition and visual processing

Danny Staple builds robots and gadgets as a hobbyist, makes videos about his work with robots, and attends community events such as PiWars and Arduino Day. He has been a professional Python programmer, later moving into DevOps, since 2009, and a software engineer since 2000. He has worked with embedded systems, including embedded Linux systems, throughout the majority of his career. He has been a mentor at a local CoderDojo, where he taught how to code with Python. He has run Lego Robotics clubs with Mindstorms. He has also developed Bounce!, a visual programming language targeted at teaching code using the NodeMCU IoT platform. The robots he has built with his children include TankBot, SkittleBot (now the Pi Wars robot), ArmBot, and SpiderBot.
