商品描述

Making Simple Robots is based on the idea that anybody can build a robot! That includes kids, educators, parents, and anyone who didn't make it to engineering school. If you can cut, fold, and tape a piece of paper to make a tube or a box, you can build a no-tech robotic part. In fact, many of the models in this book are based upon real-life prototypes -- working models created in research labs and companies. What's more, if you can use the apps on your smartphone, you can quickly learn to tell robots what to do using free, online, beginner-level software like MIT's Scratch and Microsoft MakeCode.

The projects in this book which teach you about electric circuits by making jumping origami frogs with eyes that light up when you get them ready to hop. You'll practice designing all-terrain robot wheel-legs with free, online Tinkercad software, and you'll create files ready for 3D printing. You'll also learn to sew -- and code -- a cyborg rag doll with a blinking electronic eye.

Each project includes step-by-step directions and clear illustrations and photographs. Along the way, you'll learn about the real research behind the DIY version, find shortcuts for making projects easier when needed, and get suggestions for adding to the challenge as your skill set grows.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《製作簡單機器人》的理念是任何人都可以製作機器人!這包括孩子、教育工作者、父母,以及沒有上過工程學院的人。如果你能夠剪、摺、用膠帶將一張紙製作成管狀或盒狀,你就可以製作一個無技術含量的機器人零件。事實上,本書中的許多模型都是基於現實生活中的原型——在研究實驗室和公司中創建的工作模型。更重要的是,如果你能夠使用智能手機上的應用程式,你可以通過免費的在線初學者級軟件(如MIT的Scratch和Microsoft MakeCode)快速學習如何指示機器人做事情。

本書中的項目通過製作能夠跳躍的摺紙青蛙並使其眼睛發光來教授有關電路的知識。你將使用免費的在線Tinkercad軟件設計全地形機器人輪腿,並創建適合3D打印的文件。你還將學習縫紉和編程,製作一個帶有閃爍電子眼的半機械人布娃娃。

每個項目都包含逐步指導、清晰的插圖和照片。在此過程中,你將了解DIY版本背後的真實研究,找到在需要時使項目更容易的捷徑,並獲得隨著技能的提升而增加挑戰的建議。
