How to make computer-controlled robots

This guide walks hobbyists through constructing a robot that works with a personal computer. Readers get a control program that handles movement, grabbing objects, and a form of vision that helps the machine navigate its surroundings. A circuit diagram is included for the reader to assemble.

Beyond the build itself, the book offers an overview of the robotics field and a range of hands-on advice for anyone putting a homemade robot together.
