Abstract
In the last chapter, we went through detailed procedures to install Ubuntu on VirtualBox and on a real PC. We also practiced important shell commands that we are going to use while building a robot. The next important requirement for working with a robot is to learn a few programming languages. By using these languages, we can program the robot for a particular application. Some of the popular programming languages used for creating robotic applications are C++ and Python. This doesn’t mean that we are won’t use other languages. Programming languages like Java and C# are also used in robotics, but the most common languages are C++ and Python.
