Python Robotics Projects - Build Smart and Collaborative Robots Using Python
Robotics is a fast-growing industry. Multiple surveys state that investment in the field has increased tenfold in the last 6 years, and is set to become a $100-billion sector by 2020. Robots are prevalent throughout all industries, and they are all set to be a part of our domestic lives. This book starts with the installation and basic steps in configuring a robotic controller. You'll then move on to setting up your environment to use Python with the robotic controller. You'll dive deep into building simple robotic projects, such as a pet-feeding robot, and more complicated projects, such as machine learning enabled home automation system (Jarvis), vision processing based robots and a self-driven robotic vehicle using Python. By the end of this book, you'll know how to build smart robots using Python.

From Bricks to Brains: The Embodied Cognitive Science of Lego Robots
From Bricks to Brains introduces embodied cognitive science, and illustrates its foundational ideas through the construction and observation of LEGO Mindstorms robots. Discussing the characteristics that distinguish embodied cognitive science from classical cognitive science, From Bricks to Brains places a renewed emphasis on sensing and acting, the importance of embodiment, the exploration of distributed notions of control, and the development of theories by synthesizing simple systems and exploring their behaviour. Numerous examples are used to illustrate a key theme: the importance of an agent’s environment. Even simple agents, such as LEGO robots, are capable of exhibiting complex behaviour when they can sense and affect the world around them.

Reinforcement Learning and Dynamic Programming Using Function Approximators
While Dynamic Programming (DP) has helped solve control problems involving dynamic systems, its value was limited by algorithms that lacked practical scale-up capacity. In recent years, developments in Reinforcement Learning (RL), DP's model-free counterpart, has changed this. Focusing on continuous-variable problems, this unparalleled work provides an introduction to classical RL and DP, followed by a presentation of current methods in RL and DP with approximation. Combining algorithm development with theoretical guarantees, it offers illustrative examples that readers will be able to adapt to their own work.

Metaheuristics for Robotics
This book is dedicated to the application of metaheuristic optimization in trajectory generation and control issues in robotics. In this area, as in other fields of application, the algorithmic tools addressed do not require a comprehensive list of eligible solutions to effectively solve an optimization problem. This book investigates how, by reformulating the problems to be solved, it is possible to obtain results by means of metaheuristics. Through concrete examples and case studies ? particularly related to robotics ? this book outlines the essentials of what is needed to reformulate control laws into concrete optimization data. The resolution approaches implemented ? as well as the results obtained ? are described in detail, in order to give, as much as possible, an idea of metaheuristics and their performance within the context of their application to robotics.

Robotic process automation : UiPath RPA developer masterclass
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a game-changing technology that is designed to automate high-volume, recurring processes that consume a significant amount of a worker’s time. Take advantage of this opportunity to get trained in one of the most in-demand skills and prepare for future employment. This course combines the best of two worlds by giving you a proper tech primer followed by many practice exercises. You will get your hands dirty and learn by doing, but you will also have us by your side supporting you in your learning process. We (authors) have simply built the course we wished we had when starting out on our own RPA developer careers. This course starts with introducing you to RPA and how it works. You will install the UiPath Studio developer software interface and go through its workings, then look at programming concepts important for RPA development. You will design, develop, and deploy advanced robots from scratch. You will see best practices for automating business processes and finally explore what to do next to further improve your skills. By the end of this course, you will have learned best practices and important programming concepts for RPA development. You will have also designed, developed, and deployed robots by automating seven processes, and learned how to grow as an RPA developer.
