Enjoyable, Informative and Entertaining,
By Benjamin Grayland (Geelong, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Build Your Own Self-Programming Robot (Paperback)
If you have an interest in robotics, and a decent knowledge of electronics, then this book is certainly worth reading. Despite its age, the information it provides is applicable today.Heiserman tells of his own robots, specifically Rodney, who can program himself. One example given was of Heiserman handicapping Rodney, by scratching his processors and removing one of his wheels - Rodney learned to move about efficiently in a short period of time, with no assistance. Similar anecdotes are spread throughout the book. But most importantly, the book tells the reader how they can construct a robot similar to (or exactly the same as) Rodney. Schematics, wiring diagrams and so forth fill a large portion of the book - providing a clear method for construction. Overall, this is certainly an interesting book. Even if you don't plan to build yourself a robot, the anecdotes are both entertaining and amazing enough alone. |
