Based on the idea that anyone can build a robot, Making Simple Robots is a comprehensive guide that includes kids, educators, parents, and anyone who didn't make it to engineering school. With just a piece of paper, scissors, and tape, you can create no-tech robotic parts, and many of the models in the book are based on real-life prototypes created in research labs and companies.
Moreover, if you have a smartphone, you can easily learn to control robots with free, online beginner-level software like MIT's Scratch and Microsoft MakeCode. The projects in this book range from making jumping origami frogs with eyes that light up to designing all-terrain robot wheel-legs with Tinkercad software and creating files for 3D printing. You'll also learn to sew and code a cyborg rag doll with a blinking electronic eye.
Each project comes with step-by-step directions, clear illustrations, and photographs, allowing you to learn about the real research behind the DIY version, find shortcuts for making projects easier, and suggest ways to add to the challenge as your skill set grows. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced maker, Making Simple Robots is a must-have guide for anyone interested in building their own robots.
