Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This book presents a unique combination of mobile robots and embedded systems, from introductory to intermediate level. It is structured in three parts, dealing with embedded systems (hardware and software design, actuators, sensors, PID control, multitasking), mobile robot design (driving, balancing, walking, and flying robots), and mobile robot applications (mapping, robot soccer, genetic algorithms, neural networks, behavior-based systems, and simulation). The book is written as a text for courses in computer science, computer engineering, IT, electronic engineering, and mechatronics, as well as a guide for robot hobbyists and researchers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comments to Embedded Robotics, July 30, 2006
By Ricardo Alonso (Valencia, Carabobo Venezuela) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Hi, so far the book is a little dissapointeing, because is to much centered to a commercial hardware (EyeCon) that is somewhat hard to adquiere to a group that has a very low budget for that kind of projects... but is important to have a reference. That is why it deserve a 3. But also supply a very important source of information for sensors and actuators design. That is why i gave an average of 4 stars.

Best regards, and thanks for all the effort you made for me enjoying this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure chest of ideas, August 27, 2006
By Sasu Mattila "sasu" (Finland, Europe) - See all my reviews
This book is a real treasure chest of ideas for an amateur robot builder. It does not show solutions in enough detail to copy them, but it points you in the right direction.

For me some of the most interesting topics covered were:
- Motorola M68332 based general purpose robot controller board,
- Introduction to different robot competitions,
- Simplified image processing solutions,
- Walking robots and evolutionary programs to control the gait,
- Examples of real life robots.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's good but not essential, November 6, 2009
By Sean Curtin (Warners Bay, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A good general coverage.

This book is a good overview of robotics design and development. My main dissapointment with it was the focus on the controller which is a commercial unit you would need to purchase in order to use the code contained in the book. The unit is expensive to say the least for what it is and I found myself deciding that I would simply adapt what I could to my own controllers and treat the volume as a general overview.

I did like it's chapter on multi-directional wheels and some of the code showed some straight forward ways of going about robot routine programming.

Overall though the book is not going to be overly useful to the robotics designer unless your hell bent on purchasing the controller it promotes.

In conclusion it's a uni students book, where the Uni will have brought a few of the controllers for the students to interface too and program. For the rest of us, it's just bits and pieces of information, where without the controller it will only be about 45% value.
