Arduino Robotics

This book will show you how to use your Arduino to control a variety of different robots, while providing step-by-step instructions on the entire robot building process. You'll learn Arduino basics as well as the characteristics of different types of motors used in robotics. You also discover controller methods and failsafe methods, and learn how to apply them to your project. The book starts with basic robots and moves into more complex projects, including a GPS-enabled robot, a robotic lawn mower, a fighting bot, and even a DIY Segway-clone.Introduction to the Arduino and other components needed for roboticsLearn how to build motor controllersBuild bots from simple line-following and bump-sensor bots to more complex robots that can mow your lawn, do battle, or even take you for a rideWhat you'll learnBasics of motor-controlBasics of PCB design and fabricationR/C control and decodingAutonomous sensor guidanceFrame building from various materialsInstructions for a variety of robot designsWho this book is forElectronics and robotics hobbyists and DIY builders.
