Homemade Robots

If you're looking to inspire the next robotics engineer, look no further than Homemade Robots. This book explores how to make easy to build robots, all from inexpensive electrical components and everyday household items. With clear pictures and easy to follow directions, you'll work through progressively more technical builds, exploring new ways to make robots move like crawling, wobbling, rolling, and inch-worming all over your floor. -Mike Warren, designer, inventor, and best-selling author of Cut in Half: The Hidden World Inside Everyday Objects This looks [like] a good one. -Alun Williams, Gadget Master It's the fastest guide I've seen to getting bots made and moving, but it also shares a love and appreciation for robots as a fun new medium for expression. Nothing is over simplified, instead the key aspects of what you need to make fun robots asap are clear, straightforward, and fun! -Dr. Andrew James Quitmeyer, Director of Digital Naturalism Laboratories I can vouch for the fun since I test built some of the robots in the book. -Becky Stern, Digi-Key Homemade Robots is very thoughtfully constructed-inspiration from the robots is paired with practical learning about techniques and methods. This book could have saved me lots of time on my own journey. -Eric J. Wilhelm, Founder, Instructables You will have a blast creating these wobbly and wacky robots that you set free to bump around the house. However, what you may not realize is that you've just gained the foundational skills of an electro-mechanical engineer, and the techniques taught in this book are utilized by all robots, from the clumsiest to the most sophisticated. -Alex S, Fuzzy Wobble, Toy Maker
