内容説明
It may look like one, but the LEGO(r) MINDSTORMS(r) 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(r) 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 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).

Powerful robot building techniques here
2009/12/25
形式:ペーパーバック
We are all used to LEGO robots that roll and crawl, but this book focuses on robots that perform complex tasks instead of following lines and avoiding obstacles. The two robots, a Rubik's Cube solver and a tic-tac-toe opponent, are well designed and the building instructions are clear and contain some great building techniques.
One thing I like about the book is the novice level introduction to BricxCC/NXC and the NeXT tools. The book doesn't try to teach this language and there are other books available on these topics, but to use these robots you need a bit of understanding on how they work, how to save them, etc... a good jumping off point.
Some of the reviews have critiqued the book for not supporting the Mac operating system. The author DOES support these and the book does provide what it can for Mac users... the reader is given a complete website for contacting the author with questions as well as to download the required programs.
The building instructions for No Starch books continues to improve every time... these instructions are easy to follow and are not cluttered on the page. The author deserves a lot of credit for also providing building instructions for both robots using both retails kits - 1.0 and 2.0.
My only concern (not complaint) about the book is a possibly limited audience - with only 2 robots in the book, I believe the book may only appeal to intermediate and advanced NXT users. Beginners are probably looking for more robots to build, more sample programs (especially in NXT-G), and more hand-holding. Fortunately there are other books that cater to the beginner... but I feel a warning should be given here that this book is not about teaching newcomers about building and programming.
All in all, a good book to have on the shelf if you're an NXT fan.

Building a Thinking Robot
2010/2/8
形式:ペーパーバック
This book is simple in concept. Take either the original NXT or the NXT 2.0 Mindstorm Robot from Lego. Set up your computer to use the NXC programs that are used to program the robot. Download the code to accomplish one of two tasks, a tic-tac-toe playing robot, or one that will solve Rubik's Cube. Then use the instructions to build the Lego model to accomplish these tasks. Most of the book is devoted to the instructions for building the robot from Lego blocks, there is little information on programming. The books has instructions for using either Windows or Mac operating systems, Linux is not currently supported. There is a brief listing of books and online articles that deal with artificial intelligence, which may be helpful to those with more interesting in creating these types of projects.
The book is not about interfacing with computers, it is not about robots, it is about building two specific projects with the Mindstorm NXT kit. In that way it is similar to buying a Lego model, and using the exploded graphical instructions to complete the model. For someone with interest only in building these two projects, and with no desire to delve into the code required to made the computer function, this is a great kit. For those who would like to do a programming project that builds on the work done by the book's author, there is no access to the source code, so that option is not available. There are other books that deal with programming the Mindstorm robot.
The book's strength is the quality of the graphics that instruct in building the model, its weakness is the lack of accessibility to and explanation of the source code. But if your only interest is building the admittedly clever robots that will play tic-tac-toe and solve Rubik's Cube, this is the book for you.

Compelling MINDSTORMS 1.0 and 2.0 book -- NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED!
2009/12/23
形式:ペーパーバック
Full disclosure: I was this book's editor and I'm the Founder of No Starch Press. Am I biased? Probably, but this is an honest review.
I'll begin by saying that this is a fascinating book about building with LEGO MINDSTORMS. I know many of the premiere MINDSTORMS builders and Daniele Benedettelli is one of the most creative, which is why we were so excited to publish this book in the first place.
My son and I spent many hours building and testing the robots in this book as did a couple of our staff. The robots are fascinating and the programs that Daniele provides are really intriguing.
The book provides instructions for building two MINDSTORMS models with BOTH THE ORIGINAL AND THE MINDSTORMS 2.0 SET. One model is able to solve a Rubik's Cube on its own (really amazing); the other will play Tic-Tac-Toe with you.
I am not one to spend hours building with LEGO (although my son is). Still, the models were fun to build although they're not half-hour constructions.
And perhaps the best part? There is absolutely NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED! Daniele provides all of the necessary programs free at his website.
I'd say this is a great book for a precocious 10 year old on up. The robots themselves will be great fun at parties, too.
