Hi,
Well after seeing how much every body liked the "robot magazines" post I desided to start a robot books post! Please only post books that you own
or ones that are harder to find (aka not every day amazon/book store books that are in evey contry in the world).

thanks

Just books related to bipedal robotics, or robotics in general?

It is also a good idea to get a solid intro to electonics.
For that I recommend the 300-in-1 kit which comes with a great step-by-step experiment book. The experiments get pretty hard pretty fast and you may want to augment your theoretical knowledge as you progress through these experiments through google and wikipedia.

In the US it is branded Elenco 300-in-1 and in Europe it is branded Maxitronix 300-in-1. Costs about $60.

I remember the book 'Mobile Robots' by Joseph L. Jones. It explains a lot about robotics and it is a guide to build the mighty Rug Warrior. I built one and it was a pleasure reading the books while I was building the robot.

I miss a book like this one but about humanoids. Anyone ? :-)
