Build Your Own All-Terrain Robot
內容描述
Remotely operated robots are becoming increasingly popular because they allow
the operators to explore areas that may not normally be easily accessible. The
use of video-controlled technology has sparked a growing public interest not
just in hobbyists, but also in the areas of research, space, archeology,
deep-sea exploration, and even the military.Significant changes in the
technology marketplace have made the creation of an all-terrain, video
controlled robot accessible to even the amateur robotic hobbyist.There
are many robotics project books currently on the market, but most are targeted
to hobbyists, and are strictly for indoor use. This book has the ideal mix of
“brains and brawn,” making it appealing to hobbyists and interested
professionals alike
