[share_ebook] Robot Builder’s Cookbook Build and Design Your Own Robots

Owen Bishop introduces, through hands-on project work, the mechanics,
electronics and programming involved in practical robot design-and-build. The
use of the PIC microcontroller throughout provides a painless introduction to
programming whilst harnessing the power of a highly popular microcontroller used
by students and design engineers worldwide.
This is a book for first-time robot builders, advanced builders wanting to know
more about programming robots and students in Further and Higher Education
tackling microcontroller-based practical work. They will all find this book a
unique and exciting source of projects, ideas and techniques, to be combined
into a wide range of fascinating robots.

* Full step-by-step instructions for 5 complete self-build robots
* Introduces key techniques in electronics, programming and construction - for
robust robots that work first time
* Illustrations, close-up photographs and a lively, readable text make this a
fun and informative guide for novice and expericenced robot builders
