Why did I (author) write this book?
As an experienced teacher and a Roboticist who plays with robots every day, I have gained a good understanding of the Robotics field. I have seen that people often fear and avoid robotics books because they think the concepts are hard to grasp. But, I believe I can teach in a way that even a child can understand. Through this book, I hope to shed light on the fundamental ideas of robotics without making you scratch your head pondering about mathematics nor the programming of a robot. I hope to take you on a brief journey to expand your understanding of robots and clear any misconceptions you have regarding the robotics field.
