Robotics for Everyone

Learn Robotics Step by Step
By Saurav Suryavanshi

Robotics is no longer just for labs — it's for makers, students, and curious professionals who want to build things that move, sense, and think. Robotics for Everyone By Saurav Suryavanshi demystifies the field with clear explanations, hands-on projects, and step-by-step guidance that takes you from first principles to working robots you can show off.

Written for beginners and stepping-up learners alike, this book combines core theory with practical practice. You’ll learn the hardware and software basics, how sensors and actuators interact, the math behind motion, and how to add perception and simple AI so your robot can make decisions. Every chapter includes exercises, wiring diagrams, code samples, and tips for testing and troubleshooting — so you always know what to build next.

What you’ll learn

• Fundamentals: motors, sensors, controllers, and electronics

• Programming robots with Python and entry-level ROS concepts

• Kinematics, basic control loops, and motion planning

• Perception basics: cameras, LIDAR, and simple computer vision (OpenCV)

• Simulation, prototyping, and practical debugging techniques

• Safety, ethics, and real-world deployment considerations

Projects you’ll build

• Line-following and obstacle-avoidance wheeled robots

• A pick-and-place robotic arm demo

• A basic autonomous navigation prototype using sensors and maps

Whether you’re a student, hobbyist, or professional curious about robotics, this book gives you the tools, projects, and confidence to design, build, and iterate.
