Vision-Driven Robots: Real-Time Object Detection, Depth Sensing, and Visual SLAM with ROS2 and OpenCV (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257894688)

For robots to become truly intelligent, they must see.

Not just capture images, but interpret environments, recognize objects, estimate depth, and make decisions based on visual data.

"Vision-Driven Robots" is a practical, hands on guide to building perception driven robotic systems using ROS 2 and OpenCV, powered by Python.

This book focuses on real time vision systems that enable robots to interact intelligently with their surroundings.

A robot without vision is limited.
A robot with vision can understand its environment.

With modern perception systems, robots can:

• detect and classify objects in real time
• estimate depth and distance
• track movement and changes
• map environments visually
• navigate using visual cues

This book shows you how to build these capabilities step by step.

• fundamentals of computer vision in robotics
• working with cameras and visual data streams
• real time object detection techniques
• depth sensing and 3D perception
• visual SLAM concepts and implementation
• integrating OpenCV with ROS2
• processing images efficiently
• tracking objects and motion
• optimizing performance for real time systems
• debugging and improving perception pipelines

Throughout the book, you will learn how to:

• capture and process camera input
• detect objects and interpret scenes
• estimate distance and spatial relationships
• build visual mapping systems
• integrate perception with robot control
• create robots that respond to what they see

Each chapter builds toward a complete perception driven robot.

• autonomous navigation using vision
• object tracking robots
• surveillance and monitoring systems
• industrial inspection robots
• AI powered perception systems

These use cases show how vision transforms robotics.

• robotics developers
• computer vision enthusiasts
• Python programmers entering robotics
• engineering students
• professionals building perception systems

If you want to build robots that can see, understand, and act in real environments, this book gives you the roadmap.
