Meer over de auteursThis book teaches the concepts of behavior-based programming through text, programming examples, and a unique online simulator robot and explains how to design new behaviors by manipulating old ones and adjusting programming. It does not assume reader familiarity with robotics or programming languages and includes a section on designing your own behavior-based system from scratch.
Key Features:
- Doesn't assume any familiarity with robotics or programming languages
- Teaches the concepts of behavior-based programming through text, programming examples, and exercises that are fully integrated with the simulator (and later with the robot)
- Touches on the history and theoretical underpinnings of behavior-based robots
- Introduces the idea of "emergent behavior," and explains how to design new behaviors by manipulating old ones and adjusting programming parameters
- Includes an advanced section that shows how readers can design their own behavior-based systems from scratch
