Building Robot Drive Trains
by Dennis Clark / Michael Owing
This essential title is just
what robotics hobbyists
need to build an effective
drive train using in
expensive, off-the-shelf
parts. Leaving heavy-duty
“tech speak” behind, the
authors focus on the actual
concepts and applications
necessary to build — and
understand — these critical force-convey
systems. $24.95
Everything you need to build you
own robot drive train:
• The Basics of Robot Locomotion
• Motor Types: An Overview
• Using DC Motors
• Using R/C Servo Motors
• Using Stepper Motors
• Motor Mounting
• Motor Control
• Electronics Interfacing
• Wheels and Treads
• Locomotion for Multipods
• Glossary of Terms, Tables, and Formula
CNC Robotics
by Geoff Williams
Written by an
accomplished workshop
bot designer/builder,
CNC Robotics gives you
step-by-step, illustrated
directions for designing,
constructing, and testing
a fully functional CNC
robot that saves you
80% of the price of an
off-the-shelf bot — and can be customi
to suit your purposes exactly because y
designed it. $34.95
