Making Simple Robots is based on one idea: Anybody can build a robot! That includes kids, school teachers, parents, and non-engineers. And every chapter offers suggestions for modifying and expanding the projects, so that you can return to the projects again and again as your skill set grows.. Each project includes step-by-step directions as well as clear diagrams and photographs. If you can use a hot glue gun, you can learn to solder basic electronics into a low-tech robot that reacts to its environment. And if you can figure out how to use the apps on your smart phone, you can learn enough programming to communicate with a simple robot.Written in language that non-engineers can understand, Maki
It teaches how to solder, how to assemble an electric circuit, how to create objects on a 3D printer and how to program using the popular Arduino microcontroller. This book is a great place to begin if you and your child aren't sure where to start with your robotics adventure. "Making Simple Robots" is aimed at those looking to take their experimentation further. My biggest complaint about the book's organization is that Kathy's closing note, "What I Learned Writing this Book," would be better placed in the introduction. Although the book is geared toward teens and young adults, there is no reason an adult couldn't help a younger student with some of the projects. -- James Floyd Kelly, GeekDadThe mechanics, electronics, and programming elements become fascinating quickly because they become fathomable quickly, and that of course is the great joy of reading this book. At the end of it, everything will feel accessible. This book p
