Lego robots! Mindstorms are sweeping the world and fans need to learn how to programme them
Lego Mindstorms are a new generation of
Lego Robots that can be manipulated using microcomputers, light and touch sensors, an infrared transmitter and CD-ROMs. Since Lego launched
Lego Mindstorms in late 1998 sales have skyrocketed - with no sign of slowing down. Mindstorms have captured the imagination of adults
and children alike, creating a subculture of Mindstorm enthusiasts around the world. The kits are now a staple part of engineering and
computer science classes at many high profile Universities.
Building Robots with Lego Mindstorms provides readers with a fundamental
understanding of the geometry, electronics, engineering, and programming required to build your own robots. Mario and Giulio Ferrari
are world-renowned experts in the field of Lego Mindstorms robotics, and in this book they share their unrivaled knowledge and expertise
of robotics as well as provide a series of chapters detailing how to design and build the most exotic robots. Mario and Giulio also give
detailed explanations of how to integrate Lego Mindstorms kits with other Lego programmable bricks such asScout and Cybermaster, as
well as with non-robotic Lego Technics models.
