Robot Programming (Que)
Tuesday, 25 October 2016

In this guide to controlling autonomous robots, Cameron and Tracey Hughes take the reader on an adventure through the eyes of Midamba, a lad who has been stranded on a desert island and must find a way to program robots to help him escape. In this guide, you are presented with practical approaches and techniques to program robot sensors, motors, and translate your ideas into tasks a robot can execute autonomously.

<ASIN:0789755009>

These techniques can be used on robot microcontrollers such as ARM9 and ARM7, and robot platforms including the low-cost Arduino platforms, LEGO Mindstorms EV3, NXT, and Wowee RS Media Robot.
