Book Description
There has been a rapid increase in the use of JavaScript in hardware and embedded device programming. JavaScript has an effective set of frameworks and libraries that support the robotics ecosystem.
Hands-On Robotics with JavaScript starts with setting up an environment to program robots in JavaScript. Then,you will dive into building basic-level projects such as a line-following robot. You will walk through a series of projects that will teach you about the Johnny-Five library,and develop your skills with each project. As you make your way through the chapters,you’ll work on creating a blinking LED,before moving on to sensors and other more advanced concepts. You will then progress to building an advanced-level AI-enabled robot,connect their NodeBots to the internet,create a NodeBots Swarm,and explore MQTT.
By the end of this book,you will have gained hands-on experience in building robots using JavaScript
