Paperback. Build Two Complete Machines: an Intelligent Wheeled Rover and a Twelve-Servo QuadrupedA successful machine is not created by connecting motors to a computer and running one large program.Reliable movement depends on compatible hardware, stable power, correctly interfaced sensors, carefully limited actuators, organised software, repeatable testing, and a clear response when something goes wrong.The Raspberry Pi Robot Builder provides a practical, beginner-friendly route to constructing and programming two complete systems: an intelligent wheeled rover and a walking four-legged machine.The first build introduces motor control, differential steering, obstacle avoidance, line following, wheel encoders, camera-assisted navigation, and remote operation. The second progresses into quadruped mechanics, joint calibration, coordinated poses, crawl gaits, sensor-based behaviour, power supervision, and safe patrol routines.Instead of presenting electronics, mechanics, and software as separate subjects, the book teaches readers to treat them as parts of one system: Sense Validate Decide Act VerifyWritten for beginners and intermediate readers, the guide suits hobbyists, students, makers, teachers, programmers, and anyone interested in creating physical machines with accessible hardware. Advanced mathematics, industrial engineering experience, custom circuit-board design, and professional software training are not required.Inside this project-based guide, you will learn how to: Understand what distinguishes a responsive machine from a remote-controlled toyApply the sense-decide-act cycle to physical systemsCompare manual, assisted, and independent operating modesUnderstand the roles of the mechanical frame, power system, sensors, actuators, control electronics, and softwareChoose between Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 5, and Zero-series boardsMatch processing capacity, weight, cooling, connectivity, and power consumption to the intended buildDecide when a microcontroller should support a Linux-based controllerWrite a measurable design brief before purchasing partsPrepare a safe electronics and mechanical workspaceSelect suitable multimeters, hand tools, connectors, motor drivers, servo controllers, batteries, switches, and fusesMatch DC motors to the completed rover's expected weight and surfaceSelect positional servos by torque, speed, voltage, size, and mechanical loadAvoid powering motors or multiple servos directly from GPIOSeparate computer, motor, and actuator power rails correctlyEstablish a shared signal ground without placing every component on one unregulated supplyWhether you are building your first mobile platform, experimenting with computer vision, learning physical computing, teaching practical engineering, or preparing to create more advanced multi-actuator machines, this book provides an organised path from one LED and button to two complete systems.Plan the power.

A successful machine is not created by connecting motors to a computer and running one large program.
Reliable movement depends on compatible hardware, stable power, correctly interfaced sensors, carefully limited actuators, organised software, repeatable testing, and a clear response when something goes wrong.
The Raspberry Pi Robot Builder provides a practical, beginner-friendly route to constructing and programming two complete systems: an intelligent wheeled rover and a walking four-legged machine.
The first build introduces motor control, differential steering, obstacle avoidance, line following, wheel encoders, camera-assisted navigation, and remote operation. The second progresses into quadruped mechanics, joint calibration, coordinated poses, crawl gaits, sensor-based behaviour, power supervision, and safe patrol routines.
Instead of presenting electronics, mechanics, and software as separate subjects, the book teaches readers to treat them as parts of one system:
Sense → Validate → Decide → Act → Verify
Written for beginners and intermediate readers, the guide suits hobbyists, students, makers, teachers, programmers, and anyone interested in creating physical machines with accessible hardware. Advanced mathematics, industrial engineering experience, custom circuit-board design, and professional software training are not required.
Inside this project-based guide, you will learn how to:
- Understand what distinguishes a responsive machine from a remote-controlled toy
- Apply the sense–decide–act cycle to physical systems
- Compare manual, assisted, and independent operating modes
- Understand the roles of the mechanical frame, power system, sensors, actuators, control electronics, and software
- Choose between Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 5, and Zero-series boards
- Match processing capacity, weight, cooling, connectivity, and power consumption to the intended build
- Decide when a microcontroller should support a Linux-based controller
- Write a measurable design brief before purchasing parts
- Prepare a safe electronics and mechanical workspace
- Select suitable multimeters, hand tools, connectors, motor drivers, servo controllers, batteries, switches, and fuses
- Match DC motors to the completed rover’s expected weight and surface
- Select positional servos by torque, speed, voltage, size, and mechanical load
- Avoid powering motors or multiple servos directly from GPIO
- Separate computer, motor, and actuator power rails correctly
- Establish a shared signal ground without placing every component on one unregulated supply
Whether you are building your first mobile platform, experimenting with computer vision, learning physical computing, teaching practical engineering, or preparing to create more advanced multi-actuator machines, this book provides an organised path from one LED and button to two complete systems.
Plan the power. Test one component. Limit every movement. Record every change. Expand only from a stable result.

El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato.
