Descrizione del libro

Projects that electronics experimenters undertake often have significant mechanical content in addition to their electronics content. In fact, for projects in the area of robotics, the electronics content is usually secondary to the mechanical content. Written for amateur robot builders as well as electronics and computer hobbyists, this book explains how to design and build mechanical devices that can be used for motion and positioning in robotic applications. Britt Rorabaugh describes in illustrated detail how to: Design robot propulsion systems; Fabricate homemade components for pneumatic systems; Design simple hydraulic systems and motor controller circuits; Select motors for particular applications; Design and fabricate solenoids; Measure motor performance; Design gear trains and cams; Design and fabricate vacuum actuators.
