DESCRIPTION:
Wonderful Intro to Robotics but Beware the "No Code" Idea! Let's Compare Options Preptorial It's a little bit too bad that all the hype about this fine book clouds its real value-- as a great bridge between "toy" and "real" robotics. In order to attract (young scientists?) the promos promise that, without programming, you can create walking, talking, thinking robots from commonly found parts. I probably don't have to tell you to take that with a grain of salt. But I also don't want you to be turned off by it either!The Arduino IS programmable, and this book DOES take you through some of the most up to date and recent applications from (now) several years of application. "Five Stars" according to Maria Ines Rincon. excelent. "Excellent book for someone that knows almost nothing of electronics, arduino and robots" according to G. Dombiak. I'm still reading this book and it is super fun, easy and useful to read it. The writing style is so easy to read that it feels like a friend is telling you all these things in a very easy way. I'm a software engineer with very little knowledge of electronics and arduino. This book is perfect for me.I even contacted the author to get the parts for building the robot in the book and he responded very quickly and with a very nice answer.You cannot go wrong with this book.
This easy-to-follow, fully illustrated guide starts with the Teachbot and moves to more complex projects, including the musical TuneBot, the remote-controlled TeleBot, a slithering snakelike 'bot, and a robotic arm with 16 inches of reach!Get started on the Arduino board and software Build a microcontroller-based brain Hook up high-tech sensors and controllers Write and debug powerful Arduino apps Navigate by walking, rolling, or slithering Program your 'bot to react and explore on its own Add remote control and wireless video Generate sound effects and synthesized speech Develop functional robot arms and grippers Extend plans and add exciting features. Arduino Robot Bonanza shows you how to build autonomous robots using ordinary tools and common parts. Learn how to wire things up, program your robot's brain, and add your own unique flair. Create high-tech walking, talking, and thinking robots "McComb hasn’t missed a beat. It’s an absolute win
