Customer Reviews
Though these is some good information in this book and several examples of robots that one could build, several key subject areas are breezed over (robot navigation for example). My biggest issue with the book however was chapter 13 'programming fundamentals' - wholly insufficient for the prospective robot builder.
Admittedly, I am an engineering graduate, and perhaps this book is aimed slightly below my level of knowledge. For an absolute beginner/hobbyist, I would understand the ***** rating.
Listmania!
