C++ Guide for Robotics Coders

The document outlines essential C++ programming concepts for robotics, including variables, data types, operators, control structures, and object-oriented programming principles. It also covers robotics-specific concepts like sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and PID control, along with relevant C++ libraries such as ROS, OpenCV, and PCL. Best practices for coding in C++ are also provided, emphasizing meaningful naming, code commenting, thorough testing, and the use of OOP.

C++ programming for robotics:

Variables and Data Types

1. Primitive types: int, float, double, char, bool


2. Reference types: pointers, references
3. Compound types: arrays, structures, classes

Operators

1. Arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, %
2. Comparison operators: ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=
3. Logical operators: &&, ||, !
4. Assignment operators: =, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=

Control Structures

1. Conditional statements: if, if-else, switch


2. Loops: for, while, do-while
3. Functions: reusable blocks of code

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts

1. Classes: define custom data types


2. Objects: instances of classes
3. Inheritance: create derived classes
4. Polymorphism: functions with multiple forms
5. Encapsulation: hide data and behavior

Robotics-Specific Concepts

1. Sensors: read data from environment (e.g., ultrasonic, infrared)


2. Actuators: control movement or action (e.g., motors, servos)
3. Microcontrollers: small computers that control robots (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
4. PID control: algorithm for precise control of movement or action

C++ Libraries for Robotics

1. ROS (Robot Operating System): provides a framework for building robot applications
2. OpenCV: provides functions for computer vision and image processing
3. PCL (Point Cloud Library): provides functions for 3D point cloud processing

Best Practices

1. Use meaningful variable names


2. Comment your code
3. Test your code thoroughly
4. Use functions to organize your code
5. Use object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts
