Raspberry Pi Robotic Projects (Paperback)

Enter the wonderful world of Robotics via Raspberry Pi. Unlock the massive potential of this tiny PC with a step by step guide that will teach you everything from voice recognition to wireless control. Have fun!

Overview

• Make your projects talk and understand speech with Raspberry Pi
• Use standard webcam to make your projects see and enhance vision capabilities
• Full of simple, easy-to-understand instructions to bring your Raspberry Pi online for developing robotics projects

In Detail

Robotics development is accelerating, and an amazing array of new hardware and software capabilities are available to anyone with an interest in the area. Robots will soon be a part of our everyday life, and it will soon be as important to know how they work as it is to know how a computer works. Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized, fully capable PC that can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, such as spreadsheets, word processing, and games.

This book starts with the essentials of turning on the basic hardware. It provides the capability to interpret your commands and have your robot initiate actions. By the time you are through, you’ll have robots that can speak, listen, and move in a number of amazing ways.

This book is a step-by-step projects guide to unlocking some complex and interesting capabilities of Raspberry Pi. Teaching you to use Raspberry Pi from scratch, this book will discuss a wide range of capabilities that can be achieved with it. These capabilities include voice recognition, human-like speech simulation, computer vision, motor control, GPS location, and wireless control. You will then learn how to combine these capabilities to create your own robotics projects.

By the time you have completed this book, you will be able to use Raspberry Pi to create some complex and fascinating robotics projects with a vast array of capabilities.

What you will learn from this book

• Unbox, power-up, and configure Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu, a powerful version of Linux
• Exercise vision control in your projects to distinguish colors, patterns, or movements
• Apply and control speech software to enable your projects to speak
• Discover external hardware to enable your robotics projects to move
• Create complex robotics projects that can move, swim, or even fly
• Interact with your projects wirelessly so that they can be truly autonomous

Approach

This book is for enthusiasts who want to use Raspberry Pi to build complex robotics projects. However, some programming background is recommended. With the aid of the step-by-step instructions in this book, you can construct complex robotics projects that can move, talk, listen, see, swim, or fly.

Who this book is written for

Raspberry Pi Robotics Projects is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step projects guide packed full of examples of actual robotics projects. Each topic is explained in detail to make it easy to replicate the projects described.

進入 Raspberry Pi 的奇妙機器人世界吧！這本逐步指南將教你從語音辨識到無線控制等一切，揭開這個微型電腦的巨大潛力。讓我們一起享受吧！

概述：
- 使用 Raspberry Pi 讓你的專案說話並理解語音
- 利用標準網路攝影機讓你的專案具備視覺能力
- 提供簡單易懂的指示，讓你的 Raspberry Pi 能夠連線並開發機器人專案

詳細內容：
機器人開發正蓬勃發展，各種新的硬體和軟體功能都可供對此領域有興趣的人使用。機器人將很快成為我們日常生活的一部分，了解它們的運作方式將變得與了解電腦運作方式一樣重要。Raspberry Pi 是一台信用卡大小、功能完整的電腦，可以用於許多桌面電腦所能做的事情，如試算表、文字處理和遊戲。

本書從啟動基本硬體的基礎知識開始，提供解讀指令並讓機器人執行動作的能力。到最後，你將擁有能夠以多種驚人方式說話、聆聽和移動的機器人。

本書是一本逐步專案指南，教你如何發揮 Raspberry Pi 的複雜且有趣的能力。從零開始教你使用 Raspberry Pi，並討論了許多可以實現的功能，包括語音辨識、類人語音模擬、電腦視覺、馬達控制、GPS 定位和無線控制。然後，你將學習如何結合這些能力來創建自己的機器人專案。

完成本書後，你將能夠使用 Raspberry Pi 創建具有各種能力的複雜且迷人的機器人專案。

本書將教你：
- 打開、啟動和配置 Raspberry Pi，使用功能強大的 Linux 版本 Ubuntu
- 在專案中運用視覺控制，辨識顏色、圖案或動作
- 應用和控制語音軟體，讓你的專案能夠說話
- 探索外部硬體，讓你的機器人專案能夠移動
- 創建能夠移動、游泳甚至飛行的複雜機器人專案
- 透過無線方式與專案互動，使其真正自主

本書適合對使用 Raspberry Pi 建立複雜機器人專案有興趣的愛好者。然而，建議具備一些程式設計背景。透過本書中的逐步指示，你可以建構複雜的機器人專案，讓它們能夠移動、說話、聆聽、看見、游泳或飛行。

本書適合對實際機器人專案有興趣的人閱讀，每個主題都有詳細的解說，以便複製所描述的專案。
