Powszechnie JavaScript uważa się za doskonałe narzędzie do programowania aplikacji internetowych. To jednak nie wszystko: ten język świetnie nadaje się również do programowania robotów. Umożliwia zaprojektowanie zachowania robota, określenie, w jaki sposób będzie on zmierzał do celu, reagował na sygnały z otoczenia, oczekiwał na instrukcje czy omijał przeszkody. Bardzo wygodnym narzędziem do programowania robotów jest platforma Johnny-Five. Umożliwia ona programowanie robotów zbudowanych z płytek Arduino, Raspberry Pi i BeagleBone. Dzięki tej książce można nauczyć się budowania i programowania robotów o najrozmaitszej funkcjonalności i wielu zastosowaniach. Do jej napisania Rick Waldron zaprosił czternastu mistrzów JS — inżynierów, nauczycieli, popularyzatorów i liderów. Dowiesz się od nich, w jaki sposób zbudować poszczególne elementy robota, jakie części zastosować i jak napisać potrzebny kod.

ROS Robotics By Example. Learning to control wheeled, limbed, and flying robots using ROS Kinetic Kame - Second Edition

Carol Fairchild, Dr. Thomas L. Harman

ROS is a robust robotics framework that works regardless of hardware architecture or hardware origin. It standardizes most layers of robotics functionality from device drivers to process control and message passing to software package management. But apart from just plain functionality, ROS is a great platform to learn about robotics itself and to simulate, as well as actually build, your first robots. This does not mean that ROS is a platform for students and other beginners; on the contrary, ROS is used all over the robotics industry to implement flying, walking and diving robots, yet implementation is always straightforward, and never dependent on the hardware itself.ROS Robotics has been the standard introduction to ROS for potential professionals and hobbyists alike since the original edition came out; the second edition adds a gradual introduction to all the goodness available with the Kinetic Kame release.By providing you with step-by-step examples including manipulator arms and flying robots, the authors introduce you to the new features. The book is intensely practical, with space given to theory only when absolutely necessary. By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience on controlling robots with the best possible framework.
