Build Your Own Robot! contains selected articles from robotics expert Karl Lunt's Amateur Robotics column in Nuts & Volts magazine from 1992 to 1998. Build Your Own Robot! covers all aspects of basic robot design and explains the technical details in a clear, straightforward manner. It allows readers to put their new knowledge to use by providing many complete, working robotics projects for them to try. With this book, beginning and intermediate hobbyists will enjoy the challenge of building their own working, programmable robot! Karl Lunt has over 100 published articles to his credit, including a five-year run as author of Nuts & Volts' Amateur Robotics column. Over the years, he has built dozens of working robots, many of them featured in his column and in his new book, "Build Your Own Robot!" Karl has also released to the public domain several software tools for building robots. His SBasic and tiny4th compilers have become mainstays in the amateur robotics hobby. These and other tools, such as roboscrn, have helped hundreds of beginning builders get their first 'bot running. Karl lives in Bothell, WA, with his wife, Linda, and a roomful of robots in various stages of workingness. On the third Saturday of each month, you can find Karl at the Seattle Robotics Society meeting, an organization where he has served as president and as vice-president. |
