Learn Robotics Programming

Books

To continue learning OpenCV, I recommend the book OpenCV with Python By Example by Prateek Joshi, Packt Publishing. This uses computer vision to build augmented reality tools, and to identify and track objects, and takes you through different image transformations and checks, showing screenshots for each of them. It is also quite fun with lots of hands-on code.

Computer vision can be extended to 3D computer vision with the Kinect, which are tricky to find as they are no longer made, but they have a 3D sensing system that make them valuable for use in robots. They may still be found on eBay or at pre-owned game shops. The O'Reilly book, Making Things See, is more oriented at desktop computers (it predates the Raspberry Pi), but is ...
