Robot Programming: A Guide to Controlling Autonomous Robots can be read and much can be

learned without any access to robots at all. Most chapters explain the concepts in plain English and are reinforced with diagrams. However, to get the maximum benefit

from reading this book, it is assumed you will try out and test the commands, instructions, or programs on robots that you have access to. We used and tested the instructions and programs in this book on several different types of robots, and the ideas presented in this book broadly apply to many classes of robots. If you have access to a robot with at least one capability from each column shown in the table below, you will be able to adapt any program in this book to your robot.
