Résumé

Build A Car Robot, Save Thousands

(and master saint of the most sophisticated concepts in robotics)

This thoughtful guide gives you complete, illustrated plans and instructions 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.

A Working Car Rrr01-And An Understanding Of What Makes It Work

In these pages, robot designers Pushkin Kachroo and Patricia Mellodge will help you-

Build an impressive robot vehicle that can regulate its own speed and direction, for a cost of about $1000
Give your robot car the ability to sense and respond to the environment
Experiment with automatic cruise control that alters speed to meet conditions
Learn what it takes to build a security robot that can patrol actively or passively
Grasp the theory and principles behind robot design and operation
Learn what makes servos, sensors, motors, and controls work
