This book contains the complete step and reference of robot building. Get this book, you will find so many new robotics knowledge in this book.

These course notes contain a lot of information that should be valuable in your robot building endeavor. Here’s a brief synopsis of the organization of these course notes:

• Chapter 1 is the assembly manual for nearly all of the components used to construct a 6.270 robot|including the printed circuit boards, electronic sensors, motors, and battery packs.
• Chapter 2 introduces robot motor technology.
• Chapter 3 discusses battery technology and battery charger operation.
• Chapter 4 discusses secret construction methods using the LEGO Technics (R) building materials.
• Chapter 5 delves into robotic sensors, explaining the principles of operation and applications of various sensors in the 6.270 kit.
• Chapter 6 investigates how to program a mobile robot to face up to the uncertainties and challenges of practical operation.
• Chapter 7 is a reference manual for the C language software that has been developed for the 6.270 contest.

This can be used as reference book for  AVR microcontroller programming. As we know, AVR family is cheap, easy and the most used microcontroller in Robotics.

Introduction:
The robots in this book were designed to imitate biological lifeforms. Watching the snake robot moving through a room, it is interesting to observe the surprised reactions of people when it quickly turns towards them. People actually regard the robot as being alive. I am struck with the thought that although these machines are not alive in our biological sense, they actually are alive, but as life-forms unto themselves. These artificially intelligent machines are the products of  uman imagination and technical understanding. As the technology advances, the line between living and non-living matter is slowly becoming blurred.
