Description

Create your own autonomous robots and gizmos from everyday objects. This book provides step-by-step instructions for building simple self-guiding robots using common electronic parts, such as those found in old Walkmans and spare remote controls.

Using BEAM technology, you can construct a solar-powered obstacle-avoiding device, engineer a mini-sumo-wrestling robot, or build a motorized walking robot bug. The book also covers basic electronics, robot construction methods, and essential tools for mechanical assembly.

Learn how to identify "dead bug" and "live bug" electronics, use soldering equipment, and create dual-power sources for your robot using a cell phone battery or solar panel from a calculator. Get started with this growing alternative to traditional CPU-based robotics and discover the art of "dumpster diving" for collecting prime robot construction material.
