Kurzbeschreibung
Lego robots! Mindstorms are sweeping the world and fans need to learn how to programme them Lego Mindstorms are a new generation of Lego Robots that can be manipulated using microcomputers, light and touch sensors, an infrared transmitter and CD-ROMs. Since Lego launched Lego Mindstorms in late 1998 sales have skyrocketed - with no sign of slowing down. Mindstorms have captured the imagination of adults and children alike, creating a subculture of Mindstorm enthusiasts around the world. The kits are now a staple part of engineering and computer science classes at many high profile Universities. Building Robots with Lego Mindstorms provides readers with a fundamental understanding of the geometry, electronics, engineering, and programming required to build your own robots. Mario and Giulio Ferrari are world-renowned experts in the field of Lego Mindstorms robotics, and in this book they share their unrivaled knowledge and expertise of robotics as well as provide a series of chapters detailing how to design and build the most exotic robots. Mario and Giulio also give detailed explanations of how to integrate Lego Mindstorms kits with other Lego programmable bricks such asScout and Cybermaster, as well as with non-robotic Lego Technics models.

Format:Taschenbuch
An diesem Buch fällt als erstes positiv auf, dass keine detailierten (und platzraubenden) "Schritt für Schritt" Anleitungen zum Nachbau einzelner Modelle enthalten sind. Auf über 400 Seiten werden Hintergrundwissen (z.B. Lego-Mathematik oder physikalische Grundlagen eines gehenden Roboters), erprobte Entwicklungsstrategieen, Pneumatik, Programmiertechniken und vieles mehr angesprochen.
Die vielen Anregungen für die Lösung von grossen und kleinen Problemen versetzen den engagierten Robot-Entwickler in die Lage in kürzerer Zeit bessere Modelle zu bauen.

Format:Taschenbuch
Dieses Buch richtet sich an Lego Einsteiger. Aber halt, gibt es so etwas überhaupt? Welchen Sinn macht ein Buch, für Lego-Einsteiger, wo selbige doch meistens nicht über das Vorschulalter hinausgewachsen sind?
"Building Robots..." bietet einen Neueinstieg in eine, uns allen wohl noch aus seligen Kindertagen bekannte, Materie. Es eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf das altbekannte Spielzeug, nämlich eine wissenschaftliche.
Neben mathematischen und physikalischen Grundlagen, decken die Autoren mit den Grundlagen modularer Konstruktion und der Programmierung des RCX alle Bereiche ab, mit denen ein angehender Robot-Designer konfrontiert wird. Dabei ist der Ansatz der Autoren trotz aller Wissenschaftlichkeit immer nah an der Materie, eine gewisse Verspieltheit ist nicht zu übersehen. Das ist wohl auch der Grund, weswegen es einfach verflucht viel Spaß macht, dieses Buch zu lesen.
Fazit: Ich kann dieses Werk jedem empfehlen, der einen schnellen, seriösen, (Wieder-)Einstieg in die Lego Materie finden will. In Kombination mit einem Nachschlagewerk zur RCX-Programmierung und einem Grundlagenbuch für KI-Entwicklung wird man in kürzester Zeit die ansehnlichsten Roboter hervorbringen.

Excellent Resource
30. Dezember 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
I am not ashamed to admit that I am 28-going-on-29 and I absolutely love this book. It is very well written and highly detailed. As a Mehanical Engineer with 6+ years work experience I was certain that this book wouldn't live up to the expectations that the first few pages that I read in the book store led me to develop. Was I wrong!! This book's simplified expanation of engineering concepts is unmatched. From Lego block geometry to gearing setup and programming. This book has it all if you'd like to go beyond the few missions that the mindstorm kit comes with. Don't be mistaken this book has no step-by-step instructions for building robots. It only introduces "snippet" to get your creative "juices" flowing. My understanding of Legos and their use has been greatly enhanced. To make things even better, the authors includes useful information on other Lego parts that are not included with mindstorm that are very important, i.e. light sensors, hydraulics, etc. If you are looking for a reference book to help you build better Lego creations, this book is it!!

The best Mindstorms book yet!
27. Dezember 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the most comprehensive book on building robots with Mindstorms yet published. It is mammoth (600+ pages) and has three sections. The first part deals with the basics, including chapters on such topics as walking, grabbing, and even a chapter on mathematics. The second section deals with specific projects. The final section discusses contests. The book is well written and even the math section is easy to understand.
Here are the pros and cons as I see them. Really, the cons exist by choice, as the authors chose to cover every imaginable design topic in detail and not use up space with programs or step-by-step diagrams.
Pros:
- Outstanding coverage of design principals, allowing the builder to learn concepts for building ANY robot.
- Lots of cool demonstration projects and plenty of building projects to work on, including a 2 legged walker!
- Open ended instruction lets you learn a design principal, then build and observe it.
Cons:
- No step-by-step building instructions and pictures. (Enough detail is provided by the photos that the models can be readily recreated.)
- Very little programming. (The authors' intent was to focus on the mechanical aspects of robot design. If you really want to learn programming, Dave Baum's book is a great resource for NQC).

A FUNdamental approach!
14. Januar 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a great book, since it not so much treats the basics of programming (as do many other Mindstorms books) but pays equally balanced attention to the principles behind making good mechanical constructions. I especially like the places where behaviorial issues that are seemingly 'obviously programming' are obtained by clever mechanical solutions, since it matches my own way of looking at Mindstorms. Often, these solutions free up motor and sensor ports, and therefore permit to add more behavior onto the basic behavior of the original design.
You really learn many things from this book which you do not find in other Mindstorms books, because the authors take a pleasantly fundamental approach. There are chapters on Lego geometry, and a chapter on walking robots starts with an experimental explanation of the center-of-gravity, which is of course the fundamental problem behind the designs that follow. There are also some basics of signal processing which should help solve sensory issues structurally, without hacking, another commendable improvement over comparable books that ignore such problems.
The playfulness of the authors shines throughout, and this is what makes this serious book such inspirational fun - who would think of using Mindstorms to build a pinball machine or flight simulator? It is brimming with non-traditional ideas like these. The many illustrations are excellent, and there is enjoyment at every level: the design issues at large (such as what to relegate to the hardware, and what to the software), but also the design details; for instance there is an incredibly compact and simple turtle foot that needs to be built to be believed.
Beyond the fun, the book really serves as a good introduction to the principles of robotics, with Lego as the tangible and affordable illustration of those principles. Useful tables in appendices convey the new flavor: Mindstorms is now being elevated from a toy to a specific technical design platform, and thus professionalized (to the extent that the tool allows, of course). In my mind, this enhances rather than reduces the enjoyment of the kits, since the structural approach should eliminate many minor frustrations in designing working robots.
Highly recommended!
