Beskrivelse
For readers of Robot Building for Beginner (Apress, 2002 and 2009), welcome to the next level. Intermediate Robot Building, Second Edition offers you the kind of real-world knowledge that only renowned author David Cook can offer. In this book, you ll learn the value of a robot heartbeat and the purpose of the wavy lines in photocells. You ll find out what electronic part you should sand. You ll discover how a well-placed switch can help a robot avoid obstacles better than a pair of feelers. And you ll avoid mistakes that can cause a capacitor to explode. Want a robot that can explore rooms, follow lines, or battle opponents in mini-sumo? This book presents step-by-step instructions and circuit and part descriptions so that you can build the robot featured in the book or apply the modules to your own robot designs. Finally, you ll find the complete schematics for Roundabout, a room explorer that requires no programming and uses only off-the-shelf electronics. With Roundabout, you ll use many of the same techniques used by professional robotics engineers, and you ll experience many of the same challenges and joys they feel when a robot comes to life.
