This book offers a comprehensive guide to programming robots, making it accessible for beginners and providing advanced strategies for experienced programmers in Robot Programming.
In Robot Programming, readers are introduced to the exciting world of robotics through a hands-on approach that simplifies complex concepts. The book breaks down robot control into easy-to-understand behaviors that can be programmed and debugged using affordable microcontrollers, even those with limited memory. This makes it accessible for beginners who may not have prior experience in robotics or programming. As you learn to master your online virtual robot, you’ll gain the skills necessary to adapt your programming for real-world applications.
The intuitive method presented in Robot Programming ensures that learners can engage with the material effectively. Each chapter integrates explanations, code examples, and practical exercises that utilize an online robot simulator. This interactive approach allows you to visualize the results of your programming efforts, making the learning process both enjoyable and informative. The book covers essential topics such as mobile robot programming, sensor integration, and the development of new robot behaviors, all while encouraging creativity and experimentation.
While Robot Programming makes the journey into robotics approachable, it also respects the complexity of the field. Readers are guided through advanced strategies for designing their own behavior-based systems, delving into the history and theory behind the programming techniques. By the end of the book, you will not only have a solid foundation in robot programming but also the confidence to explore further and create innovative robotic solutions.
Jones, one of the inventors of the first widely adopted consumer robot,introduces the history and theory behind behavior-based programming, teaches skills needed for programming a robot, and provides readers with a virtual robot on a web site to test programming expertise. Using an intuitive method, he deconstructs robot control into simple behaviors that are easy to program and debug for inexpensive microcontrollers with little memory. No background is required in programming or robotics. Sci-Tech Book News 20040601
