About the Author
Lentin Joseph is an author, entrepreneur, electronics engineer, robotics enthusiast,
machine vision expert, embedded programmer, and the founder and CEO of Qbotics
Labs (http://www.qboticslabs.com) from India. He completed his bachelor's degree
in electronics and communication engineering at the Federal Institute of Science
and Technology (FISAT), Kerala. For his nal year engineering project, he made a
social robot that can interact with people. The project was a huge success and was
mentioned in many forms of visual and print media. The main features of this robot
were that it can communicate with people and reply intelligently and has some image
processing capabilities such as face, motion, and color detection. The entire project was
implemented using the Python programming language. His interest in robotics, image
processing, and Python started with that project.
After his graduation, for 3 years he worked in a start-up company focusing on robotics
and image processing. In the meantime, he learned famous robotic software platforms
such as Robot Operating System (ROS), V-REP, Actin (a robotic simulation tool), and
image processing libraries such as OpenCV, OpenNI, and PCL. He also knows robot
3D designing and embedded programming on Arduino and Tiva Launchpad.
After 3 years of work experience, he started a new company called Qbotics
Labs, which mainly focuses on research to build up some great products in
domains such as robotics and machine vision. He maintains a personal website
(
http://www.lentinjoseph.com) and a technology blog called technolabsz
(http://www.technolabsz.com). He publishes his works on his tech blog.
He was also a speaker at PyCon2013, India, on the topic Learning Robotics
using Python.
