PUT POWERFUL, LOW-COST MICROCHIPS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES INTO HOME-BUILT
ROBOTS
Over the past 5 years, dramatic improvements in technologies and
significant cost reductions in 8-bit microprocessors have spawned a
renaissance in robot building. PIC-BOTICS, from popular electronics
hobbies author John Iovine, shows amateur (and professional) electronics
enthusiasts how to get in on the fun, using the power of Microchip’s
versatile 8-bit PIC microprocessor family to build sophisticated robots
more cheaply and easily than you thought possible.
With PIC-BOTICS, you can build robots that—
