Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This thughtful guide gives you complete, illustrated plans and insructions for building a 1:10 scale car robot that would cost thousands of dollars if bought off the shelf. But beyond hours of entertainment and satisfaction spent creating and operating an impressive and fun project, Mobile Robotic Car Design provides serious insight into the science and art of robotics. Written by robotics experts, this book gives you a solid background in electrical and mechanical theory, and the design savvy to conceptualize, enlarge, and build robotics projects of your own. Book News Annotation:Learn the theories and principles of robot design and operation as
you build this 1:10 scale car that can regulate its own speed and
direction, sense and respond to its environment, and even function as
a security vehicle. Kachroo and Mellodge (both electrical and
computing engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute) give step-by
step instructions for building the car for less than $1,000,
including its system structure, construction, environmental sensing,
DC motors and servos, low-level and microprocessor control,
mathematical modeling, control design, and simulation environments.
They include photographs, schematics, parts information, and a list
of hardware sources, as well as free code for the car's printed
circuit board at the companion web site. Now, if you could just
shrink yourself to 1:10.
Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:This book enables hobbyists to build their own robotic car, about 1/10th the size of a standard vehicle, for under $1000 — and learn the mechanical and electrical theory and design secrets behind it. * Step-by-step instructions for building the vehicle, from theory and design to hardware and software implementation * Discussions on mathematical modeling, control design theory, sensors, servos, motors, controllers, and environmental sensing * Printed circuit board files for the car can be downloaded for free from accompanying website
