Synopsis
This book is based on the bestselling Robosapien, and will be applicable for both the current version and the forthcoming version 2. Geared towards both novice and experienced owners, Samans shows the reader how to start working with and modifying the Robosapien straight out of the box, while giving an introduction to general robotics. The hacks taught within are inexpensive to complete and don't require advanced electronics skills; but will surely entertain., You don't need to understand BEAM robotics, or know anything about Mark Tilden, in order to enjoy your Robosapien. However, not only is a basic understanding of the background of the robot (and the theories that make it "tick") interesting, but these concepts open up opp- tunities to further explore your Robosapien. This gives you more to think about and a richer background when you're coming up with programming routines and even potential hacks for your Robosapien. As we'll see in subsequent chapters, Robosapien is a far cry from a true BEAM robot. But as we'll also see, Robosapien would never have been developed if it weren't for Mark Tilden's groundbreaking work in the area of BEAM robotics. CHAPTER 3 ? ? ? Robosapien:A Design History Figure 3-1. This is an early computer render of the finalized Robosapien design. In February 2005, Mark Tilden and I met in New York City to talk about, what else--robotics and Robosapien. He was in town for the upcoming International Toy Fair, and we met in the heart of midtown Manhattan at Wolfgang's Steakhouse., You don't need to understand BEAM robotics, or know anything about Mark Tilden, in order to enjoy your Robosapien.

And whether you own a Robosapien or not, you'll learn about the workings and theory of this fun robot. An owner of several Robosapiens himself, author Jamie Samans covers everything from basics like diagnosing and testing your new Robosapien, to advanced topics like hacking and modifications. He thoroughly covers what he calls the "curiosity and creativity" of this famous bot. The book functions as both a practical user guide and an interesting read about the theory behind the machine: BEAM robotics (BEAM stands for biology, electronics, aesthetics, and mechanics). You'll learn about Robo's 67 unique functions, and get the full scoop on the line of Robosapiens: the Robopet, the Roboraptor, and the bipedal Robosapien V2. By the books end, you'll come to master your V1 or become fully prepared for the exciting upgrades included in V2., Whether one is a robotics expert or a beginner, this book provides background information on general robotics, including Mark Tilden's theories of BEAM robotics and how they relate to Robosapien.

- l***1 (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI bought a new, shrink-wrapped journal from this seller. It arrived inside a bubble pack mailer from the US Postal Service and then another plastic envelope. It had a dent in the bottom of the cover, which it did not have in the listing picture, so that occurred in transit. It should have been packed in a box to prevent such damage. However, the seller promptly gave me the partial refund I asked for & was courteous. Would buy from seller again, but specify the packing I want ahead of shipping.
