Other titles in the Tab Electronics Robotics series:Amphibionics: Build Your Own Biologically Inspired Robot (Tab Electronics Robotics)by Karl Williams
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:ROBOTIC EVOLUTION HAS BEGUN! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO JOIN THE REVOLUTION If you’re a robotics hobbyist with a flair for creativity, here’s your opportunity to join the revolution and advance robotic evolution. Amphibionics: Build Your Own Biologically Inspired Reptilian Robot leads you step-by-step through four amazing projects which, when completed, will leave you as master of a gang of robot reptiles that jump, slither, walk, swim, and respond to their environment! Packed with insight and a wealth of informative illustrations, Amphibionics show you how to build your own snake, frog, crocodile, and turtle. It focuses on the construction of each robot in detail, and then explores the world of slithering, jumping, swimming, and walking robots — along with the artificial intelligence needed to make these movements happen. The book also: * Tells you all you need for mechanical construction, programming, locomotion, remote control, and customization * Teaches you corresponding electronics, PIC programming, artificial intelligence, software, motor control, and wireless data linking. * Instructs you to build your own customizable remote control using inexpensive transmitter and receiver modules * Helps you add your own touches, through a special section that shows you how to evolve each robot further and make it unique * And much, much, more! With each project amazingly inexpensive to complete, you’re bound to wind up with your own brood of reptilian robots in no time! Synopsis:This title contains step-by-step plans for building fully functional mechanical snakes, frogs, turtles and alligators using inexpensive, readily available parts. It gives full instructions on construction, programming, locomotion, remote control and customization. Synopsis:* Step-by-step plans on building 4 different creatures--snake, frog, turtle, and alligator with walking and swimming ability
* Tells you all you need for mechanical construction, programming, locomotion, remote control, and customization
* Teaches mechanical construction, electronics, PIC programming, artificial intelligence, and software control
* All are inexpensive to build with easy-to-find parts Synopsis:This work provides the hobbyist with detailed mechanical, electronic, and PIC microcontroller knowledge needed to build and program a snake, frog, turtle, and alligator robots. It focuses on the construction of each robot in detail, and then explores the world of slithering, jumping, swimming, and walking robots, and the artificial intelligence needed with these platforms. About the AuthorKarl Williams is an independent robotics researcher, electronics experimenter, and software developer.
