Hi, Does anybody know of any books on Vision Command at all. Especially any books at the level of David Baum's or Bagnall's on Mindstorms. I am really interested in detailed image processing with Vision Command. Thanks, Jon (23 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

The main reason it would make sense to quote the total DOF is that is determines the volume the arm needs or is able to work in. For example imagine a snake-bot with a dozen 2 DOF joints. It can reach around objects to position it's effector. So it (...) (23 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.technic)
