Don't believe the title
Robotics, Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligence may be an odd title for this book, as, while most of the circuit blocks are certainly usable in robotics, there are very few where a robot would be the primary use.There are circuits for anything from Touch Lamps and Light Dimmers through to the more robotic circuits like the particularly good chapter on H-Bridges.There are blocks which cover a good number of uses in robotics and mechatronics, but I don't know exactly where he gets the AI bit of his title.
Very useful ref of practical examples, but with errors
This is a good ref. for, in particular hobbyists and students, where a collection of useful practical examples can be found.However, I spotted quite a number of errors (both typing errors and errors in circuit diagrams such as wrong pin no., incorrect connection point or polarity).For inexperience users, following exactly some of the circuits may result in producing smoke factory.I would like to recommend to recheck and correct some of these errors.I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars partly because of these errors. ...

Excelent Introduction
This book is an excelent introduction to robotics and to electricity basics; but I recomend if the user has knoledge of electronic read stiquito avanced experiments, it will be much interesting for the user.

Great Project
A good book to learn robotics for everyone especially those with computer and engineering background. Nonetheless others with enthusiasm, and willingness to experiment would find that this book is unique and excellent in its approach . What makes this book as an excellent introductory reading, is that it comes with kit. Once you've read about stiquito, you can go ahead and build one for yourself. What kind of stiquito personality you want to build will depend on your creativity and willingness to experiment. It also teaches you how to write program to control simple robot using easy to get resources. Robotics is fun indeed.

A good introduction
This introductory Stiquito book is well suited for educators and hobbyists that want an easily realizable robot.Read more

An absolute must read for anyone interested in robotics!
Bruno and Paolo have assembled cutting edge results from all areas of robotics -- ranging from humanoids to interplanetary to traditional mobile robots -- in this volume.While aimed at a technically literate audience, this text is still accessible to the average reader interested in seeing the future of robotics as it is being developed in the best research labs and universities today. ...

For the more advanced practioner
This book will provide the most benefit to someone who has already written a computer chess program and is looking to improve it. The chapters on extended forward-pruning were especially informative and a number of high-level programs currently use the adaptive null-move pruning presented here.
Not bad, but....
The book is pretty good, and I got a lot out of it.It contains lots of interesting ideas about pruning.I suppose I got out of it what I wanted to get out of it.The reason I don't rate the book higher is because most of the book was pretty worthless. Nearly 50 pages of the book is devoted to the move lists of all the games they played!I don't need to see 50 pages worth of computer chess game moves.That's something that could be better served from a website.Sure it's probably needed for the thesis to verify that they actually did the studies they say they did, but I don't think it belongs in the book.Also, a large portion of the book is devoted to end game databases and recognizing when to look in them and optimal ways to index, etc.I wasn't very interested in that.My last complaint is that there isn't really any source code included with the book.All of the snippets of code that are shown are greatly cut up to the point where they're completely illegal.This book would be a 5 start book if they had actual pieces of code - or even the whole source - instead of the stupid moves.Code like if(try_null) { // do null move here } is the kind of code you see.He should have just printed the full alpha-beta algorithms.He tries to describe them as clearly as possible, using as little as possible real code.Like he wants to explain it all, yet keep it a secret!Putting in the code would be self-descriptive. ...
