Mindstorms are sweeping the world and fans need to learn how to programme them Lego Mindstorms are a new generation of Lego Robots that can be manipulated using microcomputers, light and touch sensors, an infrared transmitter and CD-ROMs. Since Lego launched Lego Mindstorms in late 1998 sales have skyrocketed - with no sign of slowing down. Mindstorms have captured the imagination of adults and children alike, creating a subculture of Mindstorm enthusiasts around the world. The kits are now a staple part of engineering and computer science classes at many high profile Universities. Building Robots with Lego Mindstorms provides readers with a fundamental understanding of the geometry, electronics, engineering, and programming required to build your own robots. Mario and Giulio Ferrari are world-renowned experts in the field of Lego Mindstorms robotics, and in this book they share their unrivaled knowledge and expertise of robotics as well as provide a series of chapters detailing how to design and build the most exotic robots. Mario and Giulio also give detailed explanations of how to integrate Lego Mindstorms kits with other Lego programmable bricks such asScout and Cybermaster, as well as with non-robotic Lego Technics models.Electronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions.RobotsDesign and construction.LEGO toys.Computer programming.Electronic books.localFerrari, Giulio.authorhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut331582Hempel, Ralph.Original19289946799781928994671(OCoLC)51850728Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781928994671An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information.b1365608924-02-2224-01-08991003254089707536C0TEFBuilding robots with Lego Mindstorms1464014UNISALENTOle02924-01-08mm -engmau00
