Key benefits

Build an intelligent robot that can detect and avoid obstacles and respond to voice commands
Detect and track objects and faces using OpenCV
Control your robot with a GUI button designed using Qt5

Description

C++ is one of the most popular legacy programming languages for robotics, and a combination of C++ and robotics hardware is used in many leading industries. This book will bridge the gap between Raspberry Pi and C/C++ programming and enable you to develop applications for Raspberry Pi. You'll even be able to implement C programs in Raspberry Pi with the WiringPi library. The book will guide you through developing a fully functional car robot and writing programs to move it in different directions. You’ll then create an obstacle-avoiding robot using an ultrasonic sensor. In addition to this, you’ll find out how to control the robot wirelessly using your PC or Mac. This book will also help you work with object detection and tracking using OpenCV, and guide you through exploring face detection techniques. Finally, you will create an Android app and control the robot wirelessly with an Android smartphone. By the end of this book, you will have gained experience in developing a robot using Raspberry Pi and C/C++ programming.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers, programmers, and robotics enthusiasts interested in leveraging C++ to build exciting robotics applications. Prior knowledge of C++ is necessary to understand the projects covered in this book.

What you will learn

Install software on a Raspberry Pi compatible with C++ programming
Program the Raspberry Pi in C++ to run a motor
Control a Raspberry Pi-powered robot wirelessly with your laptop or PC
Program a Raspberry Pi camera using OpenCV
Control a Raspberry Pi robot with voice commands
Implement face and object detection with Raspberry Pi

The book it self nice to read, multiple examples well explained, but it has nothing to do with C++ programming except file names has the extention ".cpp", at list I didn't find.It could be named "Hands-On Robotics Programming with C" as well, or C style API workshops.I looked for something really using C++ power of object oriented together with some new C++ API but I failed to find.I would reccomend this book for programming begginers to get familiar wiht rapbery PI known C/Python API

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
