Presents
the step-by-step process of constructing two different, inexpensive, and fully functional
robots with a varying range of abilities. Along the way, concepts are introduced to allow
the reader to later create her or his own robot design. All aspects of design are
discussed, including computational hardware, designing and prototyping, sensors,
mechanics, motors, power, robot programming, and unsolved problems. Appendices list
suppliers, trade magazines, data books, and schematics. Many illustrations and
photographs, two pages in color. |
