Mastering Practical Robotics with Arduino and ESP32: Build Smart Robots with Real-Time Control, Sensor Networks, and Advanced Automation Features (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798197548580)

Mastering Practical Robotics with Arduino and ESP32 is a comprehensive and professionally structured guide designed for readers who want to build intelligent robotic systems using modern embedded technologies. Combining practical robotics engineering with real-world automation concepts, this book provides a complete learning path for understanding how smart robots are designed, programmed, powered, controlled, and optimized using Arduino and ESP32 platforms.

The book is written for beginners, students, hobbyists, makers, engineering enthusiasts, embedded systems developers, automation professionals, and anyone interested in robotics and intelligent machine development. It is equally valuable for readers who are just starting with robotics as well as those seeking to strengthen their practical knowledge of advanced robotic systems, wireless communication, sensor integration, motor control, and embedded programming techniques.

Readers will learn the foundations of robotics architecture, microcontroller systems, electronics, GPIO handling, signal processing, power management, and sensor technologies used in modern robotic applications. The book explains how to work with ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, environmental monitoring modules, IMU motion tracking systems, load cells, and many other sensing technologies commonly used in intelligent machines.

The book also provides detailed coverage of actuators and robotic movement systems, including DC motors, servo motors, stepper motors, motor drivers, PWM control methods, and motion regulation techniques. Readers will gain practical knowledge of communication protocols such as UART, SPI, and I2C while learning how to build scalable sensor networks and real-time data acquisition systems.

Advanced topics are explored in depth, including embedded C++ programming, ESP32 dual-core processing, FreeRTOS task management, interrupts, timers, autonomous navigation, differential drive robotics, line-following algorithms, obstacle avoidance systems, sensor fusion methods, PID control systems, and real-time robotics optimization. The book also introduces modern technologies such as Edge AI, TinyML, computer vision concepts, ESP32-CAM integration, IoT robotics systems, cloud telemetry, and remote monitoring architectures.

Special attention is given to professional engineering practices, including safety systems, fail-safe robotics design, debugging techniques, hardware troubleshooting, power optimization, and strategies for scaling prototypes into production-ready robotic systems. In addition, the book includes advanced engineering tricks, performance optimization methods, noise reduction techniques, and professional prototyping workflows commonly used in real-world robotics development environments.

Written in a clear and practical style, this book focuses on real engineering knowledge rather than theory alone, making it an ideal resource for learning how intelligent robotic systems operate in industrial automation, smart devices, educational robotics, research projects, and connected IoT environments.
