Accessible to technicians and hobbyists with many levels of
experience, and written to provide inexpensive and creative fun
with robotics
Appeals to all sorts of technology enthusiasts, including those
involved with electronics, computers, home automation, mechanics,
and other areas.
Well-known expert on hobbyist electronics, and heavily published author in his home country of Brazil.
"Accessible to all enthusiasts at all levels, including students
and amateur technology hobbyists, this book provides inexpensive
and creative robotics projects. It covers a wide range of
electronics disciplines, including interfacing with computers, home
automation, mechanics, and more. The comprehensive project blocks
make it possible for readers to pick and choose the circuit
elements for individual robotic projects. From how to control a DC
or stepper motor to instruction on creating moving robotic parts-
this book covers it all.
...an exhaustive educational book covering Robotics, Mechatronics
and Artificial Intelligence. With over 260 experimental circuit
design blocks across 336 pages, the books starts from motion
controls to review all the components that give robots their
senses. Each component in play comes with a design illustration or
some application guidance." --Electronic Product News, May 2002
"...this book simplifies the process of finding basic circuits to
perform simple tasks such as how to control a DC or step motor, and
offers instruction on creating moving robotic parts such as an eye
or an ear." --Poptronics, June 2002
