Das Lego® Mindstorms® EV3-Labor

With this comprehensive introduction to the world of LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, you'll learn step by step how to build five unique MINDSTORMS EV3 robots and develop the programs to get them into action. Robotics expert Daniele "Danny" Benedettelli explains how to assemble gears, beams, and motors into sophisticated models and how to use sensors. You will use program blocks to create robots that can independently avoid obstacles, follow lines, run on two legs, and even show autonomous behavior.

You'll also gain insight into mathematical and engineering concepts and robotics basics, enabling you to design your own amazing robots. Small programming tasks throughout the book will test your progress, while a comic strip story and numerous illustrations add to the fun.

The book contains a complete guide to building and programming five cool EV3 robots:

• The ROV3R all-terrain vehicle, which circumvents obstacles or even cleans a room.
• A remote-controlled vehicle with rear-wheel drive, the SUP3R CAR.
• SENTIN3L, a tripod robot controlled by color signals.
• WATCHGOOZ3, a two-legged "guardian goose" that can be controlled with a brick program.
• T-R3X, a real primordial newspaper monster hunting its prey.

Author Daniele Benedettelli is a robotics expert, a high school teacher for robotics, and a member of the LEGO MINDSTORMS expert panel. His EL3CTRIC-GUITAR is one of the official bonus models you can build with the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 set. Another famous robot of his is the "magic cube solver," which can independently solve any 3x3 magic cube in less than a minute. You only need one EV3 standard set for each robot.
