Robot Companions
Robotics is now the hot field, and researchers, hobbyists, and educators at all levels are clamoring for good books on various topics. While there are seveal "how to build" books now published, one key area of robot design remains underrepresented - behavior-based programming. This methodology "decomposes" rhe robot control problem into a set of independent, primitive begaviours. Thses are fairly simple to program and debug using inexpensive microprocessors with little memory, therefore they are ideally suited to hobbyists, classrooms, and researchers just beginning a project. This book/simulator package teaches the lessons of behaviour-based programming in an intuitive and compelling way, showing readers the vast sohistication, versatiliy, and robustness that come with the territory.
