Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-20 Summary: Product is excellent, so ignore the pervious reviewer! ... First of all, this is an alarm clock... and it does what it is suppose to do very well. The idea of not buying it or complaining about it because it doesn't work in a power outage is just crazy. If your power is going out all the time, maybe you need to move to a new house. This isn't meant for an Amish lifestyle. I guess I should return my television, microwave, lamps, electric stove, refrigerator, washing machine and dryer, because oddly enough, they don't work when the power goes out either. What ever will I do. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-12-24 Summary: Ameriphone Wake Assure Clock Rocks ... I love this clock because it wakes me up every time. I am deaf in one ear and am a deep sleeper. Until now, I haven't been able to find a clock that would awaken me reliably. I have to take medicine during the night, so I need a clock that will wake me up consistently. I use all three modalities together--alarm, light flasher, and bed shaker. I think the shaker has the most effect on me. It's not unpleasant, but it does get my attention. If I were to change anything about the clock, I would add the ability to set two ...more

Introduction to Robotics: Mechanics and Control (3rd Edition)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-07-03 Summary: Robotics Instructor - Oklahoma ... I teach a introductory course in robotics that is targeted for the senior/graduate level student in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering /Computer Science. The goal is to understand the kinematics, dynamics and ultimately the control of robotic manipulators. Unequivocally, this is one of the best books in introductory robotics! This book is not for the robotic tinkerer or the amateur, but for the engineer who is desirous of obtaining a sound understanding of the principles involved. In the past four years that I have ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-11 Summary: Great first book ... This was my favorite because it was easy to follow and understand basic robotics. Though some of the material is outdated, it still gives you a lot of insight into basic manipulator mathematics. But set your expectations right-you should not expect this book to teach you basic mathematics of rotational matrices. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Now in its third edition, Introduction to Robotics by John J. Craig provides readers with real-world practicality with underlying theory presented. With one half of the material from traditional mechanical engineering material, one fourth control theoretical material, and one fourth computer science, the book covers rigid-body transformations, forward and inverse positional kinematics, velocities and Jacobians of linkages, dynamics, linear control, non-linear control, force control methodologies,...more


Professional Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-08 Summary: Best book for the job ... Of the two textbooks available, Professional MRDS is an excellent reference book for those who need guidance with MRDS. The textbook has a plethora of examples that are easy to grasp and has an excellent code library (available from the website at no cost). In addition, the hands-on attitude of the authors make MRDS a pleasurable experience. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-24 Summary: Table of Contents ... This is not an actual review of the book since I am still waiting for it to arrive. I wanted to post the Table of Contents here to help out others since I did not see one from Amazon... Foreword. Introduction. Part I: Robotics Developer Studio Fundamentals. Chapter 1: Exploring Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio. Chapter 2: Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR). Chapter 3: Decentralized Software Services (DSS). Chapter 4: Advanced Service Concepts. Part II: Simulations. Chapter 5: The MRDS Visual Simulation Environment. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-10-26 Summary: Thorough but not easy material to get through ... I have not yet completed reading this book though I have read the first few chapters. My first impression is that although this book is fairly thorough and comprehensive, it's not the easiest material to get through. The authors start with the CCR (Concurrency and Coordination Run-Time) and discuss it in such a way that it has nothing to do with robotics. Obviously, it makes sense as to why you would have a specialized set of components to handle concurrency, etc., but it helps to know how it fits in the big picture ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Wrox's Professional Microsoft RoboticsĀ Developer Studio is one of the first guides to Microsoft's new platform for visualizing and programming robotics applications.

If i met the chance to buy another book about probabilistic robotics, i am sure purchase this book. have a nice day~~ ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-09-08 Summary: Robot Navigation ... Uncertainty is an important issue facing intelligent systems. Thrun, Burgard, and Fox have made important contributions to this area of research. Probabilistic Robotics is a more narrowly focused text than the title might suggest. At 650 pages perhaps it could not be broader and yet do justice to the topics the authors want to cover. Perhaps the title should have been Probabilistic Robot Navigation. My other criticism would be the lack of executables ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-05 Summary: Great Book! ... I consider this book the most valuable resource in the field! If you are really interested in implementing kalman filter localization, particle filter localization or SLAM algorithms, this book really will help you. This book was my reference during my Master Thesis and the algorithms are so comprenhensive that I hadn't any problem to put them running. I think the autors made a really good effort to explain complex mathematical concepts as clearly as possible. Great Job! ...more

LEGO Mindstorms NXT Power Programming: Robotics in C
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-12-24 Summary: Empowering resource for NXT fans ... While the official NXT-G programming language included in the LEGO Mindstorms NXT set works well for many people, what if you want to increase your programming potential or simply prefer a text-based language rather than a graphical one? John C. Hansen's book provides the answer to both of these questions by teaching you how to program the NXT in NeXT Byte Codes (NBC) and Not eXactly C (NXC). The book begins with an introduction to some basic programming concepts and then shows you how to set up NBC/NXC. Since these ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-02-21 Summary: Real programming power for the NXT ... If you are interested in programming your NXT beyond what NXT-G can do (the environment that comes with the retail kit) this is the book for you. You don't have to change out the firmware as you do for other text based programming languages, so you can continue to use NXT-G. In fact both types of programs can reside on the NXT at the same time. There is a great chapter giving details on the Bricx integrated development environment and all the tools that come with it. It is very complete. The versa bot that is detailed ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-02 Summary: NXT Power Programming ... This is an excellent book written by someone who was involved in-depth with NXT programming as the NXT product evolved. Lots of good examples of C code will speed your learning curve. ...more
