Awesome Dated, but still a great read, does a great job of compressing a lot of ideas and concepts into not too many pages.
Five Stars Could not of built my autonomous rover robot without this book!
Frustratingly vague!!! This book is definitely a classic (in all senses of the word). What hobbyist still uses the Motorolla chips? There is little or no pseudocode (especially when an example would help). Even more troubling is that level of discussion is sometimes exceedingly simple (a transistor is. . . ) and sometimes way over the top (some of the subsumption and behavior based algorithms could have used a lot more discussion room).Â
