Introduction
The boundless energy of youth often must give way to the laws of physics. All too often I’ve seen bright ideas flounder for a lack of fundamental knowledge. If this book can foster the development of the art, if it can encourage and educate the robotic community, if it can provide the missing ingredients—the secret sauce—then I did my job right. If you have a sense that a robot is more than wires and wheels, then this book is for you. Math rules physics, and physics rules robots. This book sheds light on the math and physics behind a robot design, and does so in an accessible way. The text was written for all ages, from high school through college and beyond. The math used in the book includes algebra, calculus, and differential equations. For readers unacquainted with these subjects, I made sure the text “returns to Earth” often. Nobody should be left behind. The laws of physics and math are evident in everyday life, and several examples are given in this book. Throughout the history of science and technology, the path to great discoveries has almost always started with the observation of simple events. Newton’s apple, Einstein’s empty room in space, and Shannon’s word games are clear examples. Proceeding from an intuitive, personal understanding of the basic laws of physics and math, you can take your understanding further. Using this knowledge, you can predict the behavior of your robot in advance. As problems crop up, you’ll have the basic knowledge to move effectively toward solutions. Throughout the book, I’ve also thrown in experience gained from 32 years of engineering design. I can’t be there when you build your robot, but I can put tools in your belt and pass on such wisdom as we both can sit still for. Originally, I started this project for the fame, fortune, and groupies. As the chapters rolled out, I got my true rewards. I relearned the basic technologies to better explain them. I dug into the larger questions lurking behind the equations and technology. And as the book developed, I found an outlet f r other thoughts I’ve had for quite some time. I hope my philosophical asides prove entertaining.
