Robotics Programming in C++ and Python

Description

This Robotics Programming In C++ And Python eBook from 3D-LABS is written for engineers and students who want a clear, practical reference they can apply immediately.

Robotics Programming in C++ and Python covers robot software development from kinematic modelling and path planning through real-time C++ control and Python behaviour scripting using ROS 2 Humble.

What standards does this book reference?

ISO 10218-1:2011 (industrial robot safety), IEC 62061:2021 (functional safety of SCS), and OMG DDSI-RTPS 2.3 for ROS 2 QoS real-time message transport.

What robot kinematics formula is implemented?

Forward kinematics via DH convention: T^0_n = product(A_i), where A_i = Rot_z(theta_i)*Trans_z(d_i)*Trans_x(a_i)*Rot_x(alpha_i). Inverse kinematics: analytical (6-DOF spherical wrist) or numerical Newton-Raphson: delta-q = J_plus*delta-x (J_plus is Jacobian pseudo-inverse).

What path planning algorithms are implemented?

A* with Euclidean heuristic for 2D/3D C-space, RRT and RRT* (high-DOF via OMPL), MoveIt 2 with FCL collision detection, and trajectory smoothing via cubic spline and minimum-jerk polynomial. All in Python/C++ with ROS 2 Humble.

About Robotics Programming in C++ and Python

Robotics Programming in C++ and Python is part of the 3D-LABS Robotics series — a focused e-book library for robotics engineers, mechatronics students, and automation designers. This title covers robot kinematics, control systems, sensor integration, machine vision, and industrial automation, with worked examples and industry-current best practices drawn from real robotics projects.

Written by practising 3D-LABS engineers and reviewed by senior specialists, Robotics Programming in C++ and Python is designed to move you from concept to competence quickly — not to be a comprehensive academic reference, but a working reference you actually use.

Who Robotics Programming in C++ and Python is for

Robotics Programming in C++ and Python is written for robotics engineers, mechatronics students, and automation designers. If you are:

• An early-career engineer wanting to accelerate your practical knowledge in robotics.
• An experienced practitioner looking for a compact reference on current practices.
• A student preparing for engineering exams, interviews, or your first professional role.
• A manager or team lead wanting to level-set your team on robotics fundamentals.

Then Robotics Programming in C++ and Python will earn its price back in the first project or exam you apply it to.

What is included in your download

• The complete PDF e-book — DRM-free, fully searchable, print-friendly formatting.
• Worked examples — real-world calculations, drawings, or case studies interspersed through the text.
• Reference charts and tables — quick-lookup material you will return to on the job.
• Further reading recommendations — curated pointers to codes, standards, and complementary resources.
• Free updates — when we revise the book, you get the updated PDF at no extra cost. We notify you by email.

How to get the most out of Robotics Programming in C++ and Python

1. Read the introduction and structure first — every book has a "how to use this book" section that maps chapters to the reader you are.
2. Work through the examples with pen and paper — passive reading is 10% retention; working the calculation yourself is 70%+.
3. Cross-reference with the 3D-LABS spreadsheet library — 680 Excel calculation tools that pair naturally with our e-books.
4. Apply the concepts to a real project immediately — the book will pay for itself the first time you avoid a design error.
5. Come back to the book after 6 months — with real project experience, you will read the same chapters differently.
