- Coding and robotics involve using programming to control robots and automated systems
- HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages
Coding in Robotics
- Coding is essential for programming robots to perform specific tasks
- Robots are often programmed using languages like C++, Python, and Java
- These languages allow developers to write algorithms that control a robot's movements, sensor readings, and decision-making processes
- Robot Operating System (ROS) is a popular framework providing software libraries and tools for building robot applications
- ROS simplifies tasks like hardware abstraction, device drivers, visualising data and inter-process communication
- Common applications include autonomous navigation, object recognition, and human-robot interaction
- Coding in robotics involves writing code that interprets sensor data
- Sensor data is used to allow robots to react to their environment
- This is crucial for tasks like obstacle avoidance and path planning
- Many educational platforms offer coding environments specifically designed for robotics
- LEGO Mindstorms and Arduino are examples of educational platforms
- These platforms provide simplified coding interfaces and pre-built robot kits
- Simulations are often used in robotics to test code without using physical robots
- Gazebo and V-REP are examples of simulation environments
- Control theory is closely related to coding in robotics, dealing with algorithms that ensure stable and accurate robot movements
Robotics Platforms
- Arduino is an open-source electronics platform
- Arduino is based on easy-to-use hardware and software
- It's commonly used in robotics for prototyping and hobbyist projects
- Raspberry Pi is a small, affordable computer
- Raspberry Pi can be used as the brain of a robot due to its processing power and versatility
- LEGO Mindstorms is a platform specifically designed for educational robotics
- It provides easy-to-use programming environments and modular robot building blocks
- Industrial robots typically use dedicated controllers and programming languages
- Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are used for automation in manufacturing and other industrial applications
- ROS is used across many platforms to provide a standard framework for robot software development
Core Concepts in HTML
- HTML provides the structure of a web page
- It uses elements, represented by tags, to define different parts of the content
- HTML documents have a basic structure including the
<html>
,<head>
, and<body>
elements - The
<!DOCTYPE html>
declaration informs the browser about the HTML version being used, which should always be included - HTML5 is the latest version of HTML, introducing new elements and features
- Tags usually come in pairs: an opening tag and a closing tag
<p>
and</p>
identify a paragraph- Some tags are self-closing
<br>
represents a line break- Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements
- Attributes are specified in the opening tag
id
,class
, andstyle
are common attributes used for styling and scripting- HTML uses hyperlinks (
<a>
tags) to link to other web pages or resources - Images are embedded using the
<img>
tag, with thesrc
attribute specifying the image source - Lists are created using
<ul>
(unordered list),<ol>
(ordered list), and<li>
(list item) tags - Tables are defined using
<table>
,<tr>
(table row),<th>
(table header), and<td>
(table data) tags - Forms are created using the
<form>
tag - Form elements include
<input>
,<textarea>
,<select>
, and<button>
- HTML5 introduced new semantic elements such as
<article>
,<aside>
,<nav>
,<header>
,<footer>
, and<section>
- These elements provide better structure and meaning to the content
- Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is used to style HTML elements
- JavaScript is used to add interactivity and dynamic behavior to web pages
- HTML entities are used to display characters that are reserved or not easily typed
<
represents<
- The
<meta>
tag provides metadata about the HTML document, such as character set, description, and keywords
HTML Structure
- Every HTML document starts with the
<!DOCTYPE html>
declaration - This tells the browser that the document should be interpreted as HTML5
- The
<html>
tag is the root element of an HTML page - It wraps all other elements
- The
<head>
section contains metadata about the HTML document - Metadata is data about the data
- The
<title>
tag specifies a title for the HTML page - The title is shown in the browser's title bar or tab
- The
<meta>
tag is used to specify character set, description, keywords, author, and other metadata - The
<link>
tag is used to link external style sheets - The
<body>
section contains the visible page content - Headings are defined with the
<h1>
to<h6>
tags <h1>
defines the most important heading- Paragraphs are defined with the
<p>
tag - Line breaks are inserted with the
<br>
tag - Horizontal rules are created with the
<hr>
tag - Comments are added using
<!--
and-->
- Comments are not displayed in the browser
HTML Elements and Tags
- HTML elements are defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag
- Start tag:
<p>
- Content: This is a paragraph.
- End tag:
</p>
- The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag
- Some HTML elements have no content (empty elements)
- Empty elements are closed in the start tag or don't have an end tag
<br>
is an example of an empty element- Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements
- Attributes are always specified in the start tag
- Attributes usually come in name-value pairs like
name="value"
- The
href
attribute specifies the URL of the page the link goes to - Example:
<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example</a>
- The
src
attribute specifies the path to the image to be displayed - Example:
<img src="image.jpg" alt="My Image">
- The
width
andheight
attributes specify the width and height of an image - The
alt
attribute specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image cannot be displayed - The
style
attribute is used to add styles to an element, such as color, font, size, and more - The
lang
attribute specifies the language of the content - The
title
attribute specifies extra information about an element (displayed as a tooltip)
HTML Formatting
- HTML formatting elements were designed to display special types of text
<b>
defines bold text<strong>
defines important text<i>
defines italic text<em>
defines emphasized text<mark>
defines marked or highlighted text<small>
defines smaller text<del>
defines deleted text<ins>
defines inserted text<sub>
defines subscript text<sup>
defines superscript text- These elements provide semantic meaning to the text they enclose
HTML Forms
- HTML forms are used to collect user input
- The
<form>
element contains one or more form elements - Text inputs are defined with
<input type="text">
- Password inputs are defined with
<input type="password">
- Submit buttons are defined with
<input type="submit">
- Radio buttons are defined with
<input type="radio">
- Checkboxes are defined with
<input type="checkbox">
- The
<label>
element defines a label for form elements - The
<select>
element defines a drop-down list - The
<option>
element defines an option in a drop-down list - The
<textarea>
element defines a multi-line text input control (text area) - The
action
attribute in the<form>
tag specifies where to send the form-data when a form is submitted - The
method
attribute specifies the HTTP method to use when submitting the form (usuallyGET
orPOST
) - The
name
attribute is needed to identify the form element once the form is submitted
