Many companies are now offering robots that are geared to the casual electronics hobbyist, both in kit form and as fully assembled models. This book gives an overview of available robot products, ranging from the simple to the complex. Interested readers will be able to find the robot kit that matches their skill level and pocketbook. Beginners may want to try a robot that is already fully assembled, or a kit with pre-assembled electronics. Other readers may opt for kits that require soldering and electronic experience. Other criteria a reader will be able to review include motion systems (robots that roll on wheels, or walk on legs, or robot arms), available sensors (from none to a wide range), and programming complexity (how the robot is programmed). If its not really a robot, its not in this book.

Once, robots were only found in science fiction books and movies. Today, robots are everywhere! They assemble massive cars and tiny computer chips. They help doctors do delicate surgery. They vacuum our houses and mow our lawns. Robot toys play with us, follow our commands, and respond to our moods. We even send robots to explore the depths of the ocean and the expanse of space. In Robotics, children ages 9 and up learn how robots affect both the future and the present. Hands-on activities make learning both fun and lasting.

Making Simple Robots is based on one idea: Anybody can build a robot! That includes kids, school teachers, parents, and non-engineers. If you can knit, sew, or fold a flat piece of paper into a box, you can build a no-tech robotic part. If you can use a hot glue gun, you can learn to solder basic electronics into a low-tech robot that reacts to its environment. And if you can figure out how to use the apps on your smart phone, you can learn enough programming to communicate with a simple robot. Written in language that non-engineers can understand, Making Simple Robots helps beginners move beyond basic craft skills and materials to the latest products and tools being used by artists and inventors. Find out how to animate folded paper origami, design a versatile robot wheel-leg for 3D printing, or program a rag doll to blink its cyborg eye. Each project includes step-by-step directions as well as clear diagrams and photographs. And every chapter offers suggestions for modifying and expanding the projects, so that you can return to the projects again and again as your skill set grows.

Insect robots, inspired by the agility and resilience of insects, are emerging as innovative tools in disaster recovery efforts. These small, agile robots are designed to navigate through tight spaces, unstable environments, and hazardous conditions that are often inaccessible to human responders. Their ability to operate autonomously or in swarms makes them particularly effective in large-scale disasters where speed and efficiency are crucial. As technology continues to advance, insect robots are poised to play an increasingly vital role in enhancing the effectiveness and safety of disaster recovery operations, providing invaluable support in the race against time to save lives. Exploring the Micro World of Robotics Through Insect Robots delves into the futuristic field of insect robotics and their pivotal role in disaster recovery scenarios. Encompassing a diverse array of subjects ranging from microcontroller principles and sensor advancements to ethical considerations and policy implications, this book offers a comprehensive perspective on the transformative potential of insect-inspired technologies in disaster response efforts. Covering topics such as advanced algorithms, machine learning, and robot swarms, this book is an excellent resource for emergency management professionals, robotics engineers and developers, public safety and security agencies, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and more.
