Can anyone on here reccomend a good textbook for a robotics class? The class is
intended for upperclass and graduate computer science students who have already
taken classes in artifical intelligence. We're going to be using LEGO kits and
HandyBoards in the class for hands on experience, but the text need not utilize
them directly. Most of the books we've found are geared towards engineering
rather than computer science students. We're looking for a book which teaches
common algorithms and concepts in robotics, around which we will develop
assignments using the book and kits.

Thx :)

(...) How about the Joe Jones/ Anita Flynn book "Mobile Robots" ? That has alot of good intro materials and it's not too ridiculously expensive. Supports Interactive C too. Either that or the new Karl Lunt book, which I haven't yet seen. Heard it (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) "Mobile Robots" is a nice book. I really liked it. Is there anybody who knows more about "Build Your Own Robot!" by Karl Lunt? It's available on-line but I haven't found any reviews for it yet. Does anybody have it? Is it any good? -- Eric (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
