Harness the power of Raspberry Pi with Six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) to create an amazing walking robot
About This Book- Construct a two-legged robot that can walk, turn, and dance
- Add vision and sensors to your robot so that it can see the environment and avoid barriers
- A fast-paced, practical guide with plenty of screenshots to develop a fully functional robot
If 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 servo-based 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
The Raspberry Pi B2 is an inexpensive embedded processor that provides a high-performance Linux development environment.
This book is a fast-paced guide that will show you how to use Raspberry Pi technology to build a biped robot that can interact with its environment. We start off by explaining the basics of getting your Raspberry Pi up and running, ready to be mounted on your biped platform. After this, you will be introduced to the art of constructing a mechanism for the biped platform. You will then learn to develop a vision system for your robot, as well as a means by which you can control and monitor it. At the end of this book, you will have learned enough to build a complex biped robot that can walk, turn, find its way, and see its environment.

Richard Grimmett has more fun working on robotic projects than should be allowed. He also enjoys teaching computer science and electrical engineering at Brigham Young University, Idaho. He has a bachelor's and master's degree in electrical engineering and a PhD in leadership studies. He has written books on how to use Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and BeagleBone Black for robotics projects.
Ashwin Pajankar is a Bangalore-based engineer who wears many different hats depending on the occasion. He graduated from IIIT Hyderabad in 2012 with a master of technology degree in computer science and engineering. He has a total of 5 years of experience in the software industry, where he has worked in different domains, such as testing, data warehousing, replication, and automation. He is very well versed in DB concepts, SQL, and scripting with Bash and Python. He has earned professional certifications in products from Oracle, IBM, Informatica, and Teradata. He's also an ISTQB-certified tester.
In his free time, he volunteers for different technical hackathons or social-service activities. He was introduced to the Raspberry Pi in one of the hackathons, and he's been hooked on it ever since. He writes a lot of code in Python, C, C++, and Shell on his Raspberry Pi B+ cluster. He's currently working on creating his own Beowulf cluster of 64 Raspberry Pi 2 models.
Werner Ziegelwanger , MSc, has studied game engineering and simulation, and he got his master's degree in 2011. His master's thesis was published with the title Terrain Rendering with Geometry Clipmaps for Games , by Diplomica Verlag. His hobbies include programming and games and working with all kinds of technical gadgets.
Werner was a self-employed programmer for some years and mainly worked on Web projects. During this time, he started his own blog (http://developer-blog.net), which is about the Raspberry Pi, Linux, and open source.
Since 2013, Werner has been working as a Magento developer and the head of programming at mStage GmbH, an eCommerce company focused on Magento.

There have been many recent technological advances that have really changed the way we live, work, and play. The television, the computer, and the cell phone all have dramatically affected our lives. Each of these generally started out with a few early adopters, for the most part, individuals with lots of resources that were able to afford the new technology. However, soon after, there was a movement to make the technology more affordable for a wider range of people.
The latest technological movement is robotics. The number, kind, and use of robots is growing dramatically. The first of these robots were developed in university labs or in military research centers. However, just as with the adaption of the computer, there is already a growing grassroots movement of do-it-yourself developers that has sprung up to make robots a part of our everyday life.
This movement has been fueled by inexpensive hardware and free, open source software. However, it has also been enabled by a community of developers who are willing to help others get started or overcome challenges that they have experienced.
This book is offered in the spirit of this do-it-yourself movement. Inside the book, you'll find details about how to take Raspberry Pi B 2, an inexpensive, small, but versatile computer, and marry it with inexpensive hardware and open source software to build a bipedal robot that can walk, sense barriers, and even see its surroundings.
However, be carefulthis sort of information can be dangerous. Before long, you may be creating the next generation of thinking, walking, sensing machines that will be at the heart of the robotic revolution.
, Configuring and Programming Raspberry Pi , begins with a discussion on how to connect power, and it continues through setting up a full system that's configured and ready to begin connecting any of the amazing devices and Software capabilities to develop advanced robotics applications.
