Advanced Robotic Vehicles Programming
About This Book
Advanced Robotic Vehicles Programming teaches readers to program robotic vehicles using the ArduPilot libraries and the Pixhawk autopilot, two open source technologies with a worldwide reach. The book concentrates on quadcopters, but the knowledge carries over easily to other vehicles, including drones, submarines and rovers. Pixhawk and ArduPilot have become very popular because the hardware and software offer a real-time task scheduler, strong data processing capacity, interconnectivity, low power consumption and support from developers around the world. The book aims to move readers' robotics programming skills beyond the basics. Covering everything from hardware to software, it links theory with practice in building unmanned vehicles. By the end, readers will know the Pixhawk software and ArduPilot libraries well enough to develop their own autonomous vehicles, and they will be familiar with the scientific and technical terminology used in the field. The book is written for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, makers and hobbyists, as well as anyone who wants to go beyond basic Arduino programming for any kind of robotic vehicle.
