Description
Key Features
Book DescriptionIf you are a programmer with an interest in building advanced robotics projects using inexpensive hardware and open source software, then this book is for you. Some experience with computer programming and implementing simple mechanical systems is required.What you will learn
Build a basic biped platform, a servobased robot that can walk
Add Six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) to your robot and make it free to move forward/backward, up/down, and left/right
Add vision through a webcam so that the biped can "see" the world around it
Implement path planning so that the biped can move around autonomously
Add wireless communication so that you can see what the robot is seeing and control the robot from a distance

Person
Richard Grimmett has more fun that should be allowed working on robotics projects while teaching Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Brigham Young University Idaho. He has a Bachelors and Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and a PhD in Leadership Studies. He also has 26 years of experience in the Radar and Telecommunications industries, and even has one of the original brick phones. He has written books on the basics of using the BeagleBone Black for robotics projects, and another for the Raspberry PI and yet another for the Arduino.
