Robot Builder's Cookbook: Build and Design Your Own Robots

just as pictured. came on time.

I find this book to be one of the best I have ever seen on the topic of building robots. Why?The author covers all the basics of just what a robot is and how to build 5 different ones including a rare gantry type. The real strengths of this book other than its clarity is the programming of the PICs-his microntroller of choice. Excellent, excellent, excellent. He shows you how and why-even if you don't have a lot of experience Also-and this is the real gem part-he shows you how to interface the different active electronic components that make up a robot. This is rare in any robot book and Mr. Bishop does it well with lucid explanations and very good diagrams.Not often does one find a book that gives an outstanding overview of the subject but also goes into the specific nuts and bolts.

Bought for 65yr old mother. Its perfect for her or kids to actually know what is involved. She always wanted a robot

This is a really well written book. It has the detail required but you only need to read as much as you need. Worth every penny and gives a great insight

A great book for anybody interested in this area of technology. It's a book I keep returning to time after time.
