Synopsis

The introducing robotics with Lego® Mindstorms™ shows the reader how to build a variety of increasingly sophisticated computer controlled robots using the brilliant Lego mindstorms Robotic Invention System (RIS). The book initially covers the fundamental building techniques and mechanics needed to construct strong and efficient robots using the various 'click-together' components supplied in the basic RIS kit. It explains to the reader, with little or no programming experience, how robot control programs may be simply constructed on their PC screens, using what may be regarded as software building bricks that are supplied with the RIS kit. These programs can then be zapped over an infrared link to the robots brain. This brain, called the RCX brick, contains a programmable microcontroller that is also capable of acting on information from the robots various sensors. The more adventurous reader is also shown how to write robot control programs using a

Synopsis

Shows the reader how to build a variety of increasingly sophisticated computer controlled robots using the Lego Mindstorms Robotic Invention System (RIS). Initially, this book covers fundamental building techniques and mechanics needed to construct strong and efficient robots using the various 'click-together' components supplied in the basic RIS kit. Then explains in simple terms how the 'brain' of the robot may be programmed on screen using a PC and 'zapped' to the robot over an infra red link. Also, shows how a more sophisticated Windows programming language such as Visual BASIC may be used to control the robots. Includes numerous step-by-step photographs.
