Linux Robotics: Programming Smarter Robots - D. Newman

Introduction

When used as a robotic "brain," single-board computers such as Linux offer speed and capacity advantages over microcontrollers. This resource combines essential aspects of robotics and programming to show hobbyists how to incorporate the power of Linux into their robot creations.

An original sample robot is used to illustrate all examples throughout the book
Coverage includes sensors, controllers, communications, behavioral programming, navigation and piloting, neural Networks
The accompanying website includes: a Linux distribution created specifically for robotics applications; downloadable software; circuit examples, solderless breadboard designs, and a complete set of behavioral programming and neural network classes (in Java, C, and C++)
