Building robots that sense and interact with their environment used to be tricky. Now, Arduino makes it easy. With this book and an Arduino microcontroller and software creation environment, you’ll learn how to build and program a robot that can roam around, sense its environment, and perform a wide variety of tasks. All you to get started with the fun projects is a little programming experience and a keen interest in electronics.
Make a robot that obeys your every command—or runs on its own.
Maybe you’re a teacher who wants to show students how to build devices that can move, sense, respond, and interact with the physical world. Or perhaps you’re a hobbyist looking for a robot companion to make your world a little more futuristic. With Make an Arduino Controlled Robot, you’ll learn how to build and customize smart robots on wheels.
You will:
- Explore robotics concepts like movement, obstacle detection, sensors, and remote control
- Use Arduino to build two- and four-wheeled robots
- Put your robot in motion with motor shields, servos, and DC motors
- Work with distance sensors, infrared reflectance sensors, and remote control receivers
- Understand how to program your robot to take on all kinds of real-world physical challenges

Free Make an Arduino-Controlled Robot
This book contains everything you need to know to build a simple robot. The resulting mecha is a two-wheeled bot that can avoid obstacles, follow a path on the ground, and/or roam within a defined area. It can back itself out of dead ends, and it can operate autonomously or via remote control. It seems to be about as intelligent as a simple Roomba.
The author takes the reader through a step-by-step building process: first, assembling and controlling the motors, then controlling speed and direction, then attaching sensors that allow the robot to understand and interact with the environment around it. While the book is written clearly enough for absolute novices to follow along, I think that intermediate users will be much more comfortable.
One thing: The code is included in the book, but not a lot of time is spent explaining the code in great detail. This is not a flaw of the book -- as I said, the book seems to be aimed at people who at least know a bit about the Arduino and how it is programmed.

This is a good intro book, but I was a bit disappointed about the depth. I was hoping for something a bit more in depth instead it just covers the construction of the two wheel and four wheel robots. If that's all you're looking for or want an intro book, this is great.
