Message-ID: Sender: bbs@bluemoon.uucp (BBS Login) Organization: Blue Moon BBS ((614) 868-998[0][2][4]) Date: Sat, 18 May 91 22:10:37 EDT I would like to know of some good books to get me started in robotics, and I would like to read specifically about how to have a robot have an area mapped out in it's memory and be able to know where it is and act accordingly, and learn where obsticals are and remember them. Ultimately, I would like to design a little robot that could go to a certain location and pic up an object when instructed, even if it's in another room. I would appreciate any help on finding suitable literature! And any help I can get in posts, of course! It seems like there are some pretty good people here, I am amazed by some of the posts!
