Publisher's Synopsis
Programming the Auto-Robot begins with specifications and details for the construction and outfitting of a sophisticated autonomous Rover. Visit YouTube "Unit1Mk5Rover." Discussions of the limitations and applications of various sensors are offered as well with examples of programming strategies. A LEGO Brick platform is described in detail for sensory feed back that allows a programmer to create a robot with many self reliant capabilities. This is a methodology that builds experience on the basis of sensory event evidence only, characterized as a logical summation that lends itself to numerical manipulation. The full programming code in NotExactlyC (NXC) is included for the completed robot. Working examples of the various approaches that make up the platform are also given.
