Many students come to a class on robotics expecting to see R2-D2. This book tells students what a robot is, provides a short history of robotics, and teaches them what the parts of a robot are and how those parts work together. This book also points out pitfalls when building a simple robot and gives examples of how trouble spots were overcome.

Robotics enthusiasts will find a wealth of data in this series. Loaded with examples, sample codes, and an abundance of advice, the set caters to those readers with a working knowledge of the field yet is accessible enough that even novice robotics students can understand basic concepts. As the volumes are text-heavy, the use of photos and diagrams is intermittent but effective, supporting the material while injecting a bit of color to the pages. A top consideration for teens with a strong interest in robotics.
