Before i read this book, i was curious about 2 things - how can i build a small robot just for fun sake & what could be the application of a microcomputer - The Beagle Bone Black? The book gave me my answers. As a startup and a enthusiast in building small robots this book provides a good starting point on how to build robots-stepwise. Right from begining on how to setup the Beagle Bone Black, adding software packages for the projects is demonstrated in very simple language. Various resources for circuit boards and other accessories needed to build a project are provided that makes the work easier, it becomes handy to look for other needed accessories for building projects. Construction of different variants of robots is explained which gets easier to grasp the methodology. Although if someone is new to programming it could get a bit trickier to program the robot. But programming will not be an issue anymore-the program code is given with proper explanation of each segment of code & its work, makes the job of programming a lot easier. Book is highly recommend for students who can make a small robots that can perform various tasks - best suited for college projects.
