Building and Programming Lego Mindstorms Robots Kit

by Mario Ferrari

The kit includes two books. Building Robots with Lego Mindstorms is a bestseller providing readers with a fundamental understanding of the geometry, electronics, engineering, and programming required to build your own robots. Authors Mario Ferrari and Giuli Ferrari, world-renowned experts in the field of Lego Mindstorms robotics, share their unrivaled knowledge and expertise of robotics and provide a series of chapters detailing how to design and build the most exotic robots. The authors also provide detailed explanations of how to integrate Lego Mindstorms kits with other Lego programmable bricks such as Scout and Cybermaster, as well as with non-robotic Lego Technic models. Programming Lego Mindstorms with Java teaches readers how to program their robotic creations and bring them to life using the newly released Java Virtual Machine for Lego Mindstorm programming. Until recently, the only languages available to program Lego Mindstorms were NQC, pbForth, and legOS.
