商品描述

It may look like one, but the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT set is not a toy.

Whether you've been building with the original LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT set for years or you just picked up a 2.0 set, you'll love this book.

LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Thinking Robots will show you how to build and program two robots that think. You'll be awestruck when the TTT Tickler ties you at tic-tac-toe and amazed when the One-Armed Wonder solves a Rubik's Cube® in just a few minutes.

These robots aren't child's play. The models are challenging, and you'll have to do a bit of thinking yourself to get them to work. But once you get the hang of it, your efforts will be amply rewarded.

In addition to providing detailed instructions for building each model with either the original or the NXT 2.0 set, author Daniele Benedettelli takes you inside the robots to show you how they're designed, what makes them think, and how to use them. You'll learn how to:

  • Control and calibrate your robots for best performance
  • Dig into tic-tac-toe strategy to see how the TTT Tickler always plays to win
  • Use the CubeSolver program to solve a Rubik's Cube with the One-Armed Wonder
  • Better understand artificial intelligence as it relates to robotics, problem solving, and gaming

And for you serious MINDSTORMS builders, all of the source code for programming the robots is available online. Not only will you get to see how the robots are programmed, but you can hack the code to make them act differently, too. You can find all of the source code at https://robotics.benedettelli.com/​TRbook.htm.

So go ahead, put on your thinking cap and get building!

Requirements: A computer running Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher, one complete LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT or NXT 2.0 set, a webcam, some marbles, a couple of rubber bands, and an Internet connection (to download the programs).

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這套LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT組合看起來像是一個玩具,但實際上並不是。不論你是多年來一直在使用原始的LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT組合,還是剛剛入手2.0組合,你都會喜歡這本書。

《LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Thinking Robots》將教你如何建造和編程兩個具有思考能力的機器人。當TTT Tickler在井字遊戲中與你打成平手時,你會感到驚嘆;當One-Armed Wonder在幾分鐘內解開魔術方塊時,你會感到驚奇。

這些機器人不是兒童遊戲。這些模型具有挑戰性,你需要一些思考才能使它們運作。但一旦你掌握了技巧,你的努力將得到豐厚的回報。

除了提供使用原始或NXT 2.0組合建造每個模型的詳細說明外,作者Daniele Benedettelli還將帶你深入了解這些機器人的設計原理、思考方式以及使用方法。你將學到如何:

- 控制和校準你的機器人以獲得最佳性能
- 深入研究井字遊戲策略,了解TTT Tickler總是如何取勝
- 使用CubeSolver程式來解開魔術方塊,讓One-Armed Wonder完成
- 更好地理解人工智慧在機器人、問題解決和遊戲中的應用

對於那些認真研究MINDSTORMS的建造者來說,所有機器人編程的原始碼都可以在線上找到。你不僅可以看到機器人的編程方式,還可以修改程式碼使它們表現出不同的行為。你可以在https://robotics.benedettelli.com/​TRbook.htm找到所有原始碼。

所以,穿上你的思考帽子,開始建造吧!

需求:一台運行Microsoft Windows 2000或更高版本的電腦,一套完整的LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT或NXT 2.0組合,一個網路攝影機,一些彈珠,幾條橡皮筋,以及一個網路連接(用於下載程式)。
