Description:
In this talk i like to present my journey of writing a book called Learning Robotics using Python. I was a speaker in PyCon 2013 and i have been taken a session on Application of Python in Robotics. After this talk i got good response from the audience as well as the online robotics community.
One of the important opportunity that i got was an invitation to write a book for PACKT publishers. I have accepted it and started writing in November 2013 and i could release the book in May 29th 2015. Also I could launch the book along with the biggest robotic conference called ICRA 2015. The book named Learning Robotics using Python teaches you to design, simulate, program, and prototype an interactive autonomous mobile robot from scratch with the help of Python, ROS, and Open-CV.
I like to discuss my journey of book writing and the importance of PyCon also like to discuss an abstract of the content on my book.
