📌 Step 1: Learn Python Basics

Before jumping into robotics, you need to understand Python fundamentals.

📖 Beginner Python Concepts


Installing Python & Setting Up the Environment

Download Python: Python.org


Use an IDE like VS Code, PyCharm, or Jupyter Notebook.
Install Jupyter Notebook (recommended for interactive learning):
bash
Copy
Edit
pip install notebook
Basic Syntax & Data Types

Variables & Data Types (int, float, str, bool)


Lists, Tuples, and Dictionaries
Conditional Statements (if-elif-else)
Loops (for, while)
Functions (def, return)
👉 Best Beginner Guide:

Python Docs (Official)


W3Schools Python Tutorial
Python Crash Course (Book)
📌 Step 2: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
Object-oriented programming is essential for robotics and larger applications.

🔹 OOP Core Concepts


Classes & Objects

python
Copy
Edit
class Robot:
def __init__(self, name, model):
self.name = name
self.model = model

def introduce(self):
print(f"Hello, I'm {self.name}, model {self.model}!")

r1 = Robot("Atlas", "A1")
r1.introduce()
Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction

Encapsulation: Protect data (private, public)


Inheritance: Inherit features from a parent class
Polymorphism: Use the same method in different ways
👉 Best OOP Resources:

Python OOP Tutorial (Real Python)


Python OOP by W3Schools
Python OOP Crash Course
📌 Step 3: Working with Hardware - Robotics & LiDAR
To work with LiDAR, Cameras, and Sensors, you need to interact with hardware.

🔹 Robotics Basics
Install Robotics Libraries
bash
Copy
Edit
pip install numpy opencv-python paho-mqtt rospy
numpy → Math operations for robotics
opencv-python → Computer vision & camera processing
paho-mqtt → Communication between robots
rospy → ROS (Robot Operating System)
Using LiDAR in Python

Popular libraries:
pylidar → LiDAR data processing
open3d → 3D visualization
matplotlib → Graphical representation
python
Copy
Edit
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Example: Generate random LiDAR points


lidar_data = np.random.rand(100, 2)
plt.scatter(lidar_data[:, 0], lidar_data[:, 1])
plt.show()
