Synopsis
The Stiquito robot ia a small, inexpensive, six-legged robot thatis intended for use as a research and educational tool. This bookdescribes how to assemble and build Stiquito, provides informationon the design and control of legged robots, illustrates itsresearch uses, and includes the robot kit. The experiments in thetext lead you on a tour of the current state of robotics research.The hobbyist with some digital electronics background will alsofind this book challenging. Stiquito: Advanced Experiments with a simple and InexpensiveRobot begins with an introduction that describes the birth ofStiquito. The chapters that follow describe the building process,its modifications, and its increased load capacity. Other chaptersexamine designs for simple controllers to enhance the functionalityof the robot while giving the robot intelligence and hardwaredesigns for performing independent, intelligent operations. Inaddition, the book examinies further research on the role of logicin a mobile robot's sensors, control, and locomotion; Stiquito'splatform for AI; and simulation of a robot guided by vision.Stiquito concludes with a discussion of the future fornitinol-propelled walking robots. The Stiquito On-Line Supplement is on the web! This site, http://computer.org/books, has additional informationnot found in the book.

The book provides information on the design and control of legged robots and a curriculum for education that presents experiments and projects that illustrates what they teach. The experiments lead the reader on a tour of the current state of research in robotics. Stiquito has also been used to teach in primary, secondary, and high school curricula. The robot is intended for use as a research and educational platform to study computational sensors, subsumption architectures, neural gait control, behavior of social insects, and machine vision. The robot may be powered and controlled through a tether or autonomously with and on-board power supply and electronics. The book begins with an introduction that describes the birth of Stiquito. The chapters that follow describe the building process, its modifications, and its increased load capacity. Other chapters examine designs for simple controllers to enhance the functionality of the robot and to give the robot intelligence and SCORPIO hardware designs for performing independent, intelligent operations. The text also illustrates Stiquito's uses in education by presenting lab exercises, describing the use of nitinol in classroom experiments, and providing a robotics curriculum for undergraduates. It examines further research on the role of logic in a mobile robot's sensors, control, and locomotion; Stiquito's platform for AI; and simulation of a robot guided by vision. The book concludes with a discussion of the future for nitinol-propelled walking robots.
