Robotics, Mechatronics, and Artificial Intelligence: Experimental Circuit Blocks for...
Product Review Accessible to all enthusiasts at all levels, including students and amateur technology hobbyists, this book provides inexpensive and creative robotics projects. It covers a wide range of electronics disciplines, including interfacing with computers, home automation, mechanics, and more. The comprehensive project blocks make it possible for readers to pick and choose the circuit elements for individual robotic projects. From how to control a DC or stepper motor to instruction on creating moving robotic parts- this book covers it all. an exhaustive educational book covering Robotics, Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligence. With over 260 experimental circuit design blocks across 336 pages, the books starts from motion controls to review all the components that give robots their senses. Each component in play comes with a design illustration or some application guidance. -Electronic Product News, May 2002 this book simplifies the process of finding basic circuits to perform simple tasks such as how to control a DC or step motor, and offers instruction on creating moving robotic parts such as an eye or an ear. -Poptronics, June 2002 Product Review Accessible to all enthusiasts at all levels, including students and amateur technology hobbyists, this book provides inexpensive and creative robotics projects.

There are circuits for anything from Touch Lamps and Light Dimmers through to the more robotic circuits like the particularly good chapter on H-Bridges. There are blocks which cover a good number of uses in robotics and mechatronics, but I don't know exactly where he gets the AI bit of his title. One thing the title got exactly right though was 'Experimental Ciruit Blocks'. There were a number of errors in type but, more importantly if you're using this book as a reference, the schematics. Things like in the "how to use transistors" chapter he more than once mixes his PNP and NPN transistors. Nearly all of the blocks are fine, just keep on your toes. Comment | | (Report this)
