Embedded Robotics Engineering: Microcontrollers, Real-Time Systems, Motor Control, and Hardware Programming (The Robotics Engineering Mastery, Band 2) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Robotics is no longer confined to research laboratories and large manufacturing facilities. It powers autonomous vehicles, industrial automation systems, smart devices, robotic arms, mobile robots, drones, and countless embedded applications that shape modern technology. Behind every successful robotic system lies a foundation of embedded engineering, real-time control, hardware programming, and intelligent system design.

Embedded Robotics Engineering is a practical and comprehensive guide designed to help you build that foundation from the ground up.

Whether your goal is to develop autonomous robots, master embedded programming, improve your understanding of control systems, or transition into robotics engineering professionally, this book provides the knowledge and practical skills needed to design, program, and deploy real robotic systems.

Unlike books that focus heavily on theory without showing how systems are actually built, this guide bridges the gap between engineering concepts and practical implementation. Every chapter is written with a strong emphasis on real-world applications, helping you understand not only how robotic systems work but also how professional engineers develop them.

Inside these pages, you will learn how microcontrollers interact with sensors, actuators, motors, and communication networks to create intelligent robotic platforms. You will gain a clear understanding of real-time computing, embedded software architecture, motor control systems, feedback mechanisms, and industrial communication technologies that drive modern robotics.

You will also move beyond individual components and discover how complete robotic systems are engineered, integrated, tested, and optimized.

• Advanced embedded systems architecture and design principles.
• Memory management and processing constraints in embedded environments.
• Real-time computing concepts and deterministic system behavior.
• Embedded programming using C and C++ for hardware applications.
• Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and task scheduling techniques.
• Interrupt handling and timer-based system design.
• PWM generation and motor control fundamentals.
• Speed regulation and position control strategies.
• Open-loop and closed-loop control systems.
• PID control implementation and tuning methods.
• UART, I2C, and SPI communication protocols.
• CAN Bus communication and industrial networking concepts.
• Robotic arm development and joint control systems.

This book goes beyond explanations and includes numerous code examples written in C and C++, demonstrating how embedded robotics concepts are implemented in actual systems.

You will learn how to:

• Interface sensors and actuators with microcontrollers.
• Develop interrupt-driven applications.
• Configure timers and PWM modules.
• Build communication interfaces.
• Implement feedback control systems.
• Develop motor control software.
• Create robotic navigation routines.
• Design embedded software architectures for robotics projects.

Each example is accompanied by detailed explanations that help you understand the reasoning behind the implementation, making it easier to adapt the concepts to your own projects.

The demand for robotics and automation expertise continues to grow across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, transportation, agriculture, defense, research, and consumer technology. Organizations need engineers and developers who can understand both software and hardware and who can integrate these disciplines into reliable, intelligent systems.

Start building the foundation that powers the next generation of intelligent machines.
