Here's everything the robotics hobbyist needs to harness the power of the PICMicro MCU!
In this heavily-illustrated resource, author John Iovine provides plans and complete parts lists for 11 easy-to-build robots each with a PICMicro "brain." The expertly written coverage of the PIC Basic Computer makes programming a snap -- and lots of fun.
Text provides six complete, do-it-yourself robotics projects. Covers bipedal robots that walk upright, functional robotic arms, easily programmed behavior-based robots, complete parts lists for all projects, and more.
