Practical guide enables readers to design state-of-the-art mobile robots by explaining core concepts, exploring hardware options, and providing example software routines. 

Review
"The primary asset of Holland's book is shared wisdom for designing a robot so that its construction follows logically and naturally. Credibility evolves from the author's extensive industrial experience and success. Candid, sometimes irreverent philosophy and strategically watermarked "Flashbacks" to personal experiences keep the reader entertained and informed...Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate Students through professionals." - R. E. Young, Pennsylvania State University, Choice, November 2004 Vol. 42 No. 03
