All robots are built to perform a task. This book describes the physical elements, such as gears, wheels, and belts, needed for the robot to maneuver around and over objects in its environment. Included is a section on how design can affect the performance of the robot.

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.
