For readers of Robot Building for Beginner (Apress, 2002 and 2009), welcome to the next level. Intermediate Robot Building, Second Edition offers you the kind of realworld knowledge that only renowned author David Cook can offer.In this book, youll learn the value of a robot heartbeat and the purpose of the wavy lines in photocells. Youll find out what electronic part you should sand. Youll discover how a wellplaced switch can help a robot avoid obstacles better than a pair of feelers. And youll avoid mistakes that can cause a capacitor to explode.Want a robot that can explore rooms, follow lines, or battle opponents in minisumo? This book presents stepbystep instructions and circuit and part descriptions so that you can build the robot featured in the book or apply the modules to your own robot designs. Finally, youll find the complete schematics for Roundabout, a room explorer that requires no programming and uses only offtheshelf electronics. With Roundabout, youll use many of the same techniques used by professional robotics engineers, and youll experience many of the same challenges and joys they feel when a robot comes to life. What youll learn How to build a robot from scratch Digital electronics and moderate machining How to use and integrate modern modules useful to all robots: power supplies, motor couplers, motor drivers (including Hbridges), opponent and obstacle detectors, and floor sensors. How to embrace and extend the base robot design How to use Roundabout, which operates with offtheshelf brains, so that no programming is required How the additions of a microcontroller, configuration switches, and even a music module all come together as a final twotier automaton showing a versatile Robot who is seemingly the master of its domain. Who is this book for? This book is aimed at intermediate builders: adults, college students, and advanced high school students. It requires background experience in electronics, at least to the extent covered by Robot Building for Beginners.Because the hobby involves soldering, electricity, and light machining, the writing is targeted toward individuals with those capabilities.The book has been referenced in a number of high school and college courses.
