PDAs and robotics come together in this innovative resource! Here is the only book to provide in-depth designs and concepts on how to create a robot that utilizes your PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) as the remote control - or "brains". It allows any PDA to communicate with and control the robot. No connectors are necessary - works on a wireless link between the PDA and the robot. It requires only inexpensive, off-the-shelf components. The modules can be easily customized for individual use, and covers specialized software, control circuits, and interfaces ideal for creating artificial life forms.
