| Synopsis |
Here's everything the robotics hobbyist needs to harness the power of the PICMicro MCU! In this heavily-illustrated resource, author John Iovine provides plans and complete parts lists for 11 easy-to-build robots each with a PICMicro "brain.e The expertly written coverage of the PIC Basic Computer makes programming a snap -- and lots of fun.
Over the past 5 years, dramatic improvements in technology combined with the availability of the powerful, low-cost PIC microcontroller have spawned a renaissance in robot building. PIC Robotics, from popular electronics hobbyist author John Iovine, shows electronics enthusiasts how to incorporate the power of the PIC microprocessor into more than 6 complete and inexpensive robotics projects. * Projects include a bi-pedal robot that walks upright, an artificial vision robot that will track and follow various visual cues, and a functional robotic arm * Discusses Braitenberg vehicles, Grey Walter behavioral robots, and a speech recognition system * Step-by-step directions for each project and inspiration for hundreds more |
