Learning to build robots
This book for beginners but also for intermediate readers introduces you to a wide range of robots, and explains in detail how to assemble the mechanical parts and electronic components, and program the robots, mainly for Arduino. For example, it talks about robots on wheels, the different types of wheels, the chassis, the power sources used to move them, such as batteries or solar panels and finally how to build an educational robot on wheels. I liked the chapter that talks about solar power and solar panels that can be connected in series or in parallel. I was also surprised by the aquatic robots especially those powered by a computer fan.

My impressions of the book
On the other hand, one drawback is that most of the little robots in the book are rudimentary ones, or look unattractive. And the author says very little about the interesting drones. Personally I am not very interested in the tools and toolboxes and the mechanical parts, and how to build very ugly chassis. Nevertheless, I think the book is worth reading.
For a practical robotics project using Bluetooth signal strength, see “Object Finder” Robot by Bluetooth RSSI.
For another example of a robot on wheels, this time using music and voice commands for sports activities, take a look at Instructor Robot by π9HMB.
