Python is one of the most commonly used coding languages in the robotics industry. To learn about machine learning (ML), we must first learn to use Python. There is a large array of compatible software and libraries available for Python, making it a very useful tool for programming most robotics applications. This activity will familiarize you with the general Python environment, as it is displayed when utilizing Google Colab notebooks.
Become familiar with the Python coding environment.
Understand how to write, save, and run Python code.
Understand the difference between Python script and the output.
Use print and input commands in Python.
Access to a computer and a large screen (if you want to share with others)
A Google account to access Google Colab
A pen or pencil
Ensure you are able to create and work through a Google Colab notebook.
Work through the Introduction to Python Activity to create and troubleshoot your first Python program!
