Study Notes

  • 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, and style 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 the src 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
  • &lt; 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 and height 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 (usually GET or POST)
  • The name attribute is needed to identify the form element once the form is submitted
