Robot programming : a guide to controlling autonomous robots / by Hughes, Cameron,1960-author.; Hughes, Tracey,author.;

This is the first complete beginner's guide to programming and automating modern robots. Drawing on their experience teaching thousands of robotics beginners, Cameron and Tracy Hughes show how to automate robots (or teams of robots), translating your ideas into specific tasks they can perform on their own, with no remote controls. 'The Beginner's Guide to Programming Robots' builds your skills through four simple projects created with today's leading robot microcontrollers (ARM9 and ARM7) on leading robot platforms (LEGO Mindstorms EV3, NXT, and Wowee RS Media Robot). Step by step, you'll learn how to use modern techniques to program robot sensors, motors, and more. Along the way, you'll learn skills you can use in hardware/Maker/DIY projects on any platform, including the wildly popular low-cost Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone platforms.

Make : soft robotics : a DIY introduction to squishy, stretchy, and flexible robots / by Borgatti, Matthew,author.(CARDINAL)795904; Love, Kari,author.(CARDINAL)795948; Atkeson, Christopher G.,author of foreword.(CARDINAL)808985;

Introduction to soft robotics -- Soft robotics for space exploration -- Using a water snake toy to move like an amoeba -- Cable pull mechanisms - ready, willing, and cable -- McKibben muscles - strong and flexible -- 3D printing best practices -- The Remora - a vacuum-powered jamming gripper -- Mixing and casting silicone -- Building your own vacuum chamber -- The Bibenda - a simple pneumatic bending actuator -- The pneumatic hand pump - a soft robot prototyping tool -- The Kousa - a soft hydraulic pressure sensor -- The Kestrel - a soft pneumatic gripper -- Soft robotics pneumatic power supply.Soft robotics is an emerging field that approaches robots in new ways, enabling them to operate in environments that are unstructured or unstable and to perform tasks that require delicacy and malleability. It's all about engineering with soft materials -- silicone, cloth, balloons, flexible plastics -- and combining them in different ways to come up with novel, approachable, and surprising solutions to interesting problems. This book introduces soft-robotics concepts to students, inventors, and makers with easy-to-understand explanations and hands-on DIY projects. The projects use a wide range of tools and techniques -- including microcontrollers, 3D printing, laser cutting, mold making, casting, and heat sealing -- to create intriguing soft robots and devices. It is tinkering at its finest! --Publisher

This second edition enhances that learning experience. Here you will find unique, photographically precise diagrams of bread boarded components, to help you build circuits with speed and precision. A new shopping guide and a simplified range of components, will minimize your investment in parts for the projects. A completely new section on the Arduino shows you how to write properly structured programs instead of just downloading other people's code. Projects have been reworked to provide additional features, and the book has been restructured to offer a step-by-step learning process that is as clear and visually pleasing on handheld devices as it is on paper. Full color is used throughout. As before, Make: Electronics begins with the basics. You'll see for yourself how components work-and what happens when they don't. You'll short out a battery and overheat an LED. You'll also open up a potentiometer and a relay to see what's inside. No other book gives you such an opportunity to learn from real-life experiences. Ultimately, you will build gadgets that have lasting value, and you'll have a complete understanding of how they work. From capacitors to transistors to microcontrollers-it's all here.
