Book Description

How to use a Robot with Computer Vision in order to perform complex tasks, interacting with the surrounding environment, using a distributed system with several software communicating each others and exchanging data across the network.

Robotics is an interesting topic today. This book is written to provide an introduction to intelligent robotics using OpenCV. It is intended for a first course in robot vision and covers modeling and implementation of intelligent robot.

With over 500 functions that span many areas in vision, OpenCV is used for commercial applications such as security, medical imaging, pattern and face recognition, robotics, and factory product inspection. This book gives you a firm grounding in computer vision and OpenCV for building simple or sophisticated Robotics applications.

The need for this textbook arose from teaching robotics to student and hobbyist for many years and facing the difficulty to provide excellent book to explain advanced technology in intelligent robotics and kinematics of the robot.

• Its content is consisting of many implementations of mobile robot and manipulator using OpenCV.
• Using newest technology in Microcontroller such as Propeller Microcontroller for robotics.
• Its content is consisting of introduction and implementation of OpenCV described clearly.

• Dr. Widodo Budiharto is a senior lecturer and researcher at School of Computer Science Binus University, Jakarta-Indonesia.

• Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control

  Offers a distinct and unified perspective of the mechanics, planning and control of robots. Ideal for self-learning, or for courses, as it assumes only freshman-level physics, ordinary differential equations, linear algebra and a little bit of computing background.

• Foundations of Robotics: Approach with Python and ROS

  This book introduces key concepts in robotics in an easy to understand language using an engaging project-based approach. It covers contemporary topics in robotics, providing an accessible entry point to fundamentals in all the major domains.

• ROS Robot Programming (YoonSeok Pyo, et al.)

  This book is a ROS robot programming guide based on the experiences accumulated from ROS projects like TurtleBot3, OpenCR and OpenManipulator. It's a comprehensive guide that covers all aspects necessary for a beginner in Robot Operating System (ROS).

• Elements of Robotics (Mordechai Ben-Ari, et al)

  This book bridges the gap between playing with robots in school and studying robotics to prepare for careers in industry and research. Robotic algorithms are presented formally, but using only mathematics known by high-school and first-year college students.

• Introduction to Autonomous Robots (Nikolaus Correll)

  It introduces concepts in mobile, autonomous robotics, covers principles of robot motion, forward and inverse kinematics of robotic arms and simple wheeled platforms, perception, error propagation, localization and simultaneous localization and mapping.

• Mastering OpenCV 4: Computer Vision & Image Processing Apps

  This book targets computer vision engineers taking their first steps toward mastering OpenCV. Keeping the mathematical formulations to a solid but bare minimum, it delivers complete projects from ideation to running code, targeting current hot topics, etc.

• Programming Computer Vision with Python: Tools and Algorithms

  This book is a hands-on introduction to computer vision using Python. It gives an easily accessible entry point to hands-on computer vision with enough understanding of the underlying theory and algorithms to be a foundation for students, researchers.

• Developing Graphics Frameworks with Python and OpenGL

  It shows you how to create software for rendering complete three-dimensional scenes, explains the foundational theoretical concepts as well as the practical programming techniques that will enable you to create your own animated and interactive worlds.
