Learn Robotics Programming 2nd Edition

I have written another book - Learn Robotics Programming, 2nd Edition is a book based on building a Raspberry Pi based robots. The book is intended for an absolute beginner, showing how to choose hardware, how to assemble it, then how to add sensors.

Tasks your robot will be able to perform are obstacle avoiding, line following, face tracking, object tracking, speech recognition.

You will learn how to drive it with your phone, how to add lights for a bright display of robot data. You will see how to write code to track your robots motion and orientation, so it can gauge how far it has gone or which compass direction it is facing.
