Definitive Guide to Building Java Robots

The Definitive Guide to Building Java Robots is for educators, students, hobbyists, and start-ups looking for java / hardware interaction. It shows readers how to use their PCs to build robots.

Unless you had a lot of money, robotics was limited to what you could fit inside a 1k microcontroller. This book shows readers how to interface with a microcontroller to do the basics; then teaches readers how to design their robots to navigate, see, recognize your face, listen to you, speak, and build maps.
