LEGO® MINDSTORMS hat die Art, wie wir über Robotik denken, radikal verändert, indem es jedermann ermöglicht, funktionierende Roboter zu bauen. Das neueste MINDSTORMS-Kit von LEGO - EV3 - ist mächtiger als je zuvor, und "LEGO-EV3-Roboter " ist der ideale Einstieg in das System. Bestseller-Autor und Robotik-Experte Laurens Valk vermittelt dir zuerst die Grundlagen der Programmierung und Robotik, indem du einen einfachen Roboter baust und programmierst, der sich bewegt und mit Sensoren auf seine Umwelt reagiert. Danach kommen zunehmend raffiniertere Roboter an die Reihe, an denen du fortgeschrittene Programmiertechniken wie Datenleitungen, Variable und Eigene Blöcke kennenlernst. Außerdem beschreibt Laurens Valk wichtige Bautechniken, um Balken, Zahnräder und Verbinder effektiv in deinen eigenen Kreationen einzusetzen. Für fünf tolle Roboter beschreibt das Buch Bau und Programmierung im Detail: • EXPLOR3R, ein Fahrzeug mit Rädern, das Sensoren verwendet, um in einem Raum zu navigieren und Linien zu folgen • FORMEL EV3 Rennroboter, ein schnittiger, ferngesteuerter Rennwagen • ANTY, eine sechsfüßige Roboterameise, die ihr Verhalten an ihre Umgebung anpasst • SNATCH3R, ein Roboterarm, der autonom ein Blinklicht finden, ergreifen und bewegen kann und • LAVA R3X, ein Maschinenmensch, der läuft und spricht. Außerdem werden dich mehr als 150 Entdeckungs- und Konstruktionsaufgaben anregen, kreativ zu denken und eigene Roboter zu erfinden, bei denen du das Gelernte anwenden kannst.
