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.
