This text and software tool kit is a practical guide for advanced electronics hobbyists and technicians. It takes readers through the entire process of designing and constructing a SPACE (self-programming, autonomous, computer-controlled, evolutionary/adaptive) mobile robot. The self-reprogramming software contained in the accompanying disk will enable a robot to learn from its "successes" and "failures" and reprogram itself accordingly.
