You’ll start off building a two-wheeled robot powered by a Raspberry Pi minicomputer and then program it using Python, the world’s most popular programming language. Gradually, you’ll improve your robot by adding increasingly advanced functionality until it can follow lines, avoid obstacles, and even recognize objects of a certain size and colour using computer vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003eLearn how to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003eControl your robot remotely using only a Wii remote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003eTeach your robot to use sensors to avoid obstacles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003eProgram your robot to follow a line autonomously\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003eCustomize your robot with LEDs and speakers to make it light up and play sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003eSee what your robot sees with a Pi Camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"\u003eAs you work through the book, you’ll learn fundamental electronics skills like how to wire up parts, use resistors and regulators, and determine how much power your robot needs.
