Python for Secret Agents - Volume II
Gather, analyze, and decode data to reveal hidden facts using Python, the perfect tool for all aspiring secret agentsAbout This Book• Discover the essential features of Python programming: statements, variables, expressions, and many of the built-in data types• Use Python's standard library to do more sophisticated data gathering and analysis• Written by a Python programming expert, with over 35 years' experience as a consultant, teacher, author and software developerWho This Book Is ForThis book is for Secret Agents who have some exposure to Python. Our focus is on the Field Agents who are ready to do more sophisticated and complex programming in Python. We'll stick to simple statistics for the most part. A steady hand with a soldering iron is not required, but a skilled field agent should be able to assemble a working Arduino circuit to gather their own sensor data.What You Will Learn• Upgrade Python to the latest version and discover its latest and greatest tools• Use Python libraries to extract data from log files that are designed more for people to read than for automated analysis• Summarize log files and extract meaningful information• Gather data from social networking sites and leverage your experience of analyzing log files to summarize the data you find• Extract text and images from social networking sites• Parse the complex and confusing data structures in a PDF file to extract meaningful text that we can analyze• Connect small, intelligent devices to our computer to use them as remote sensors• Use Python to analyze measurements from sensors to calibrate them and use sensors efficientlyIn DetailPython is easy to learn and extensible programming language that allows any manner of secret agent to work with a variety of data. Agents from beginners to seasoned veterans will benefit from Python's simplicity and sophistication. The standard library provides numerous packages that move beyond simple beginner missions. The Python ecosystem of related packages and libraries supports deep information processing.This book will guide you through the process of upgrading your Python-based toolset for intelligence gathering, analysis, and communication. You'll explore the ways Python is used to analyze web logs to discover the trails of activities that can be found in web and database servers. We'll also look at how we can use Python to discover details of the social network by looking at the data available from social networking websites.Finally, you'll see how to extract history from PDF files, which opens up new sources of data, and you'll learn about the ways you can gather data using an Arduino-based sensor device.Style and approachEach chapter will include a background briefing that covers an essential Python technology. After some in-depth exploration of the features, the chapter will conclude with a mission that is a concrete application of the Python tools and techniques covered.

Mastering ROS for Robotics Programming
Design, build and simulate complex robots using Robot Operating System and master its out-of-the-box functionalitiesAbout This Book• Develop complex robotic applications using ROS for interfacing robot manipulators and mobile robots with the help of high end robotic sensors• Gain insights into autonomous navigation in mobile robot and motion planning in robot manipulators• Discover the best practices and troubleshooting solutions everyone needs when working on ROSWho This Book Is ForIf you are a robotics enthusiast or researcher who wants to learn more about building robot applications using ROS, this book is for you. In order to learn from this book, you should have a basic knowledge of ROS, GNU/Linux, and C++ programming concepts. The book will also be good for programmers who want to explore the advanced features of ROS.What You Will Learn• Create a robot model of a Seven-DOF robotic arm and a differential wheeled mobile robot• Work with motion planning of a Seven-DOF arm using MoveIt!• Implement autonomous navigation in differential drive robots using SLAM and AMCL packages in ROS• Dig deep into the ROS Pluginlib, ROS nodelets, and Gazebo plugins• Interface I/O boards such as Arduino, Robot sensors, and High end actuators with ROS• Simulation and motion planning of ABB and Universal arm using ROS Industrial• Explore the ROS framework using its latest versionIn DetailThe area of robotics is gaining huge momentum among corporate people, researchers, hobbyists, and students. The major challenge in robotics is its controlling software. The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a modular software platform to develop generic robotic applications.This book discusses the advanced concepts in robotics and how to program using ROS. It starts with deep overview of the ROS framework, which will give you a clear idea of how ROS really works. During the course of the book, you will learn how to build models of complex robots, and simulate and interface the robot using the ROS MoveIt motion planning library and ROS navigation stacks.After discussing robot manipulation and navigation in robots, you will get to grips with the interfacing I/O boards, sensors, and actuators of ROS. One of the essential ingredients of robots are vision sensors, and an entire chapter is dedicated to the vision sensor, its interfacing in ROS, and its programming.You will discuss the hardware interfacing and simulation of complex robot to ROS and ROS Industrial (Package used for interfacing industrial robots).Finally, you will get to know the best practices to follow when programming using ROS.Style and approachThis is a simplified guide to help you learn and master advanced topics in ROS using hands-on examples.
