books 62 { Books Books are still the premier source of specialty informa- tion. The following sections list online bookstores, espe- cially those that carry technical books. Some of these bookstores are also open for walk-in business through one or more retail stores. Also listed are publishers and support Web sites for books of interest to the robot builder. The Books section is divided into several subcategories: Books: Online “heavyweights” that carry most every book in print Books-Electronics: Books on electronics, such as electronics theory and construction Books-Robotics: Special-interest books on robots, robotics, and artificial intelligence Books-Technical: General-purpose books on technical topics Amazon.com 202586 http://www.amazon.com/ The ubiquitous online retailer of books and more. Separate stores sell books, DVD and VHS movies, kitchen and household appliances, toys (online Toys’R’Us), computers, software, and magazine sub- scriptions. Amazon.com is strictly Internet-based and is not a catalog mail-order company; phoning or writing in your order is discouraged. x d V Barnes & Noble.com 204024 http://www.bn.com/ Barnes & Noble is the largest bookseller in the world, with retail stores and an online e-commerce Web site.

The company also buys and sells old vintage radios, TVs, tube hi-fi sets, test equipment, hard-to-find tubes and high-voltage capacitors. Manuals are available as copies, and, depending onavailability, some are soldas originals. What do service manuals for old stuff have to do with robots? First and foremost, yesterday’s electronic com- ponents often contain useful mechanical and electrical parts, such as gears, pulleys, and motors. The service manuals help identify odd-ball parts you may find and can assist you in adapting them to your robot. This is especially true of motors in VCRs. One brand of VCR will use the same parts for several years, so one manual covers a lot of VCR models. Second, it’s fun. Maybe you could build a robot from a vintage Philco radio.

In the days before they plastered “no user service- able parts inside” over every consumer electronicsdevice, people actually fixed things when they broke. SAMS was there with a Photofact, which included full schematics, troubleshooting, and alignment information. SAMS still sells Photofacts for many current and older model products, including TVs, printers, and VCRs, the latter of which is useful for robot builders because video recorders are a gold mine of parts. You can use the information in the Photofact as a way to hack parts for your robot. Because most parts are reused for many models of VCRs, a small handful of Photofacts will serve you for a number of VCRs you may find on the garage sale and thrift store circuit.

They're relatively cheap, and the better ones pack more informa- tion than you'll find on a galaxy of Web pages. For the robot-minded, here are some books you'll want to consider adding to your reading list. These are available for pur- chase, new or used, but don't forget the local library. If a book you want isn't carried by your library, ask the librarian if it is available from another branch. Or, ask that the book be considered for purchase. I don't list every single robotics book, just the ones I think are most relevant to amateur robotics. Same goes for electronics and engineering texts. Online or Local Only the more general-interest robotics books are carried in stock by local bookstores. You'll need to special order the books on higher-level robotics or else find them online. The premier sources for online books are: Store Name URL Notes Amazon http://www.amazon.com/ Best-known of the online bookstores; books can be ranked by publication date (great for seeing what's new), bestsellers, author, title, and customer reviews. Barnes and Noble http://www.bn.com/ The online subsidiary of the Barnes & Noble bookstore chain. Not as many robotics titles as Amazon, but the ones they have are likely to be the ones you want. See also http://btob.barnesandnoble.com/ for their technical titles. Bookpool http://www.bookpool.com/ Not many books on robotics (or electronics or engineering), but nice discounts. Brown Technical http://www.brownbookshop.com/ Specializes in highly technical books. Few Bookshop robotics titles, but several engineering, math, electrical, and associated books. OpAmp Technical http://opampbooks.com/ Online and local Books (Los Angeles, Calif.) retailer of technical books. Limited selection of robotics books, but offers to beat Amazon's price. Only lists books alphabetically. Powells http://www.powells.com/ Offers a fair number of robotics titles; displays the list in alphabetical order, by author, or by price. Occasionally offers discounts. Local stores in Oregon. San Diego http://www.booksmatter.com/ Online and local (San Diego, Calif.) Technical Books book retailer. Good selection, and you have the ability to list books by publication date, author, title, or selling rank. Discounts are rarely given, however. Stacey's Booksellers http://www.staceys.com/ Online and local (San Francisco, Calif., Bay Area) book retailer. Good selection, but not discounted and browsing options are limited. books-technical 68 Google.com search: technical bookstore Additionally, several roboticscentric Web sites cater to the robot reader. Robotbooks.com—http://www.robotbooks.com/ GoRobotics.net—http://www.gorobotics.net/ In the descriptions that follow, you'll see this icon, which means I personally recom- mend this book for any well-stocked robotics library. This does not mean the other books are not recommended, useful, or good. But I realize not everyone has the cash to pur- chase, or the time to read, every single book on robotics. I've limited myself to voting for just two “recommended” books in each category (exception: children's nonfiction robot- ics books, of which there are really no exceptional ones). If nothing else, consider these books as starting points for building your own robotics reading list. Hobby Robotics Applied Robotics Edwin Wise Delmar Learning, 1999 ISBN: 0790611848 Grab bag of amateur robotics, with a strong emphasis on hardware design (using an Atmel AVR microcontroller).

Robot Builder's Bonanza, Second Edition Gordon McComb McGraw-Hill, 2000 ISBN: 0071362967 My book on beginning and intermediate robotics. I'm proud to say it's the most popular and longest-selling book on amateur robotics ever published. (Yes, I get to put a "must have" symbol next to my own book. So sue me!) Robot Building for Beginners David Cook APress, 2002 For raw beginners with little or no experience. You need some shop tools like a drill press and tapping set to build some of the designs, though. Robot DNA (series) McGraw-Hill; 2002 A unique series of books on robotics construction. Each book, aimed at the intermediate to advanced roboteer, details a specific aspect of construction.

Offers two main projects: Tutebot, which introduces basic mobile robot concepts, and Rug Warrior, based on the Motorola MC68HC11 microcontroller. As presented, Tutebot is too expensive to build for what it does (the authors recommend motors that retail for about $30 each), but you can build it with other components for a lot less. Robot Evolution: The Development of Anthrobotics Mark Rosheim John Wiley & Sons, 1994 ISBN: 0471026220 Technical overview on robots and robot systems. For the hard core. Robotic Explorations: An Introduction to Engineering Through Design Fred Martin Prentice Hall ISBN: 0130895687 This is not an inexpensive book, but it's one of the best for teaching the fundamentals of robotics in the classroom.
