A MUST SEE VIDEO AT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1_ACEaSnC0&feature=plcp CHECK OUT THIS COOL MULTI-SENSOR ROBOTIC PROJECT BOOK!!! This book is an excellence resource for the beginning to advanced digital designer or someone wanting to learn how to design digital mobile wireless robotics. It presents a thorough project based approach to building wireless digital mobile robots from scratch using programmable logic devices from Altera and wireless devices from WyJen Technologies. Each project is explained in step by step details using a college curriculum time line. Other digital devices such as the PIC Microcontroller and DSPs are also introduced. It seeks to provide guidance on the development of wireless mobile robots in a college curriculum setting using digital systems, electronic communications systems, or electronic control systems. This book has the following benefits: 1. Project based approach using college curriculum time line in 16 or 8 weeks, 2. Provides chapters to give an introduction to digital circuits and systems, communications systems, and VHDL with questions at the end, 3. Mini projects or labs in connection with the robotic projects, 4. Gives wireless robotic projects with step by step explanations from transmitting platform to receiving platform, 5. Robots are multifunctional, 6. Provides detailed schematics of interfacing sensory circuitry, 7. Provides the VHDL code for each function in the text, 8. Can be used as a text book in a digital robotics course or supplement in a related course, 9. Provides a material list of mechanical and electronic components for several robotic projects.
