guide to advancing your robotics skills through the power of the

BeagleBoneWho This Book Is For

If you want a simple guide to building complex robots, then this

book is for you. You'll need some programming knowledge and

experience working with mechanical systems

In Detail

Robots are quickly bursting from the world of science fiction

right into our own living rooms. The small-but-mighty BeagleBone

Black embedded processor provides the power and capability to

program your own robotic projects using its complete Linux

development environment



Mastering BeagleBone Robotics lets you push your creativity to

the limit through complex, diverse, and fascinating robotic

projects right from scratch. Start off simple by building a

tracked robot that moves, sees its environment, and navigates

barriers. Go aquatic with a sailing robot that controls its

rudder and sail, senses the direction of the wind, and plots its

course using GPS. Then plunge beneath the surface of the waves as

you create and control a robotic submarine to explore the world

underwater with a webcam link. Walk on all fours with a limbed

creation, and take to the skies as you create a quadcopter, then

use the BeagleBone Black to make it autonomous and fly in its own

direction using its own power
